Mesurez chez vous en 2 minutes
Il vous faut une bande de papier (ou une ficelle, un lacet), un stylo et une règle.
- Prenez une ficelle ou un lacet et marquez dessus la longueur qui vous intéresse, par exemple 50 cm.
- Réunissez les deux marques derrière la nuque, avec le type de haut que vous portez d'habitude.
- Regardez-vous dans un miroir : le point le plus bas de la ficelle, c'est là que tombera la chaîne.
- Trop haut ou trop bas ? Essayez 5 cm de plus ou de moins : c'est une taille au-dessus ou en dessous.
Vous avez déjà une chaîne qui vous plaît ? Posez-la à plat, fermoir fermé, et mesurez-la d'un bout à l'autre. Avec un cou ou un torse larges, chaque longueur tombe un peu plus haut.
Pas de règle ? Une carte bancaire mesure 8,6 cm de long : comptez combien en tiennent sur votre bande.

Comment le porter
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.
Questions
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.

Sa signification
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...
