In 2 Minuten zu Hause messen
Sie brauchen einen Papierstreifen (oder eine Schnur bzw. einen Schnürsenkel), einen Stift und ein Lineal.
- Nehmen Sie eine Schnur oder einen Schnürsenkel und markieren Sie darauf die gewünschte Länge, zum Beispiel 50 cm.
- Halten Sie die beiden Markierungen im Nacken zusammen und tragen Sie dabei ein Oberteil, wie Sie es gewöhnlich tragen.
- Schauen Sie in den Spiegel: Am tiefsten Punkt der Schnur wird die Kette liegen.
- Zu hoch oder zu tief? Probieren Sie 5 cm mehr oder weniger: Das entspricht einer Größe größer oder kleiner.
Sie besitzen schon eine Kette, die Ihnen gefällt? Legen Sie sie mit geschlossenem Verschluss flach hin und messen Sie sie von Ende zu Ende. Bei breitem Hals oder breiter Brust sitzt jede Länge etwas höher.
Kein Lineal zur Hand? Eine Bankkarte ist 8,6 cm lang: Zählen Sie, wie oft sie auf Ihren Streifen passt.

So trägst du es
The oval medal measures about 30 x 39 mm and hangs on a 60 cm box chain, 3 mm wide, so it falls on the lower chest. The darkened background brings the figure forward, which reads well over a gray or white T-shirt; at 60 cm it also hides under a shirt.
The titanium steel can be worn every day, in the shower and on the road. A plain cross on the back keeps it simple against the skin. It is a fitting gift for a son leaving home, a friend who drives long distances, a godson at confirmation, Father's Day or Christmas.

Is the 27.5 g Christopher Crossing heavy to wear?
It has substance: about 27.5 g in all, with a 30 x 39 mm oval medal on a 3 mm box chain of 60 cm (about 24 in) that sits mid-chest.
What is on the back?
A plain cross. The front shows Saint Christopher mid-river with the Christ Child, framed by the words Saint Christopher Protect Us.
What is titanium steel?
A stainless steel alloy used in jewelry for its strength and resistance to rust. It holds up well to daily wear.
Is the titanium steel of The Christopher Crossing fine in water?
Yes. Titanium steel does not rust or turn your skin green, so the medal can stay on in the shower.
Is Saint Christopher the patron of drivers?
Yes. As the patron of travelers, Saint Christopher is traditionally invoked by drivers, pilgrims and anyone on a journey.
Is it a good gift for a son leaving home?
Yes. A Saint Christopher medal is a traditional send-off gift for someone starting out on their own or moving far away.

Seine Bedeutung
Saint Christopher, protector of travelers
Tradition holds that Christopher, a man of great strength, carried travelers across a river, and that one day he bore a child whose weight grew heavier with every step: the child was Christ himself. From this story comes his name, Christ-bearer, and his place as patron of all who travel. Drivers, sailors and pilgrims have long asked for his prayers before setting out. This oval medal in deep relief shows the saint mid-river, staff in hand, the Christ Child on his shoulder, with Saint Christopher Protect Us around the edge and a plain cross on...
