In this relief carved in stone, Saint Christopher is seen with Jesus on his shoulders. It is on the façade of a new building.
Saint Christopher was a protector of children and when he wanted to defeat the devil he realized that the devil was afraid of Jesus.
Once Jesus met Saint Christopher, he wanted to help him and put him in his arms. Legend has it that as he advanced in the river, the boy became heavier and the two almost drowned.
This scene appears in relief.
