In this way he was renamed \"Christopher\" or the \"carrier of Christ.\" Later martyred by pagans, Christopher was canonized by the Catholic Church, and is to this day the patron saint of travellers.The story of St. Cuthbert is based on the life of an early Celtic Christian monk who, through his life and work, made famous the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in Northumbria in the Northeast of England. Famously Spartan and known for his generosity to the poor, he was accredited with the gift of healing and was known as the \"Wonder Worker of Britain.\" He carried out missionary work all over Britain and Ireland, and founded an oratory at Dull, Scotland, which later became a monastery and then the University of St Andrews. Canonized after his death, he became the patron saint of northern England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary MacGregor (1874-1961) was one of the most important juvenile historical authors of the early twentieth century.
