Narrative: St. Christopher, traditionally revered as the patron of travelers, is depicted in Andean attire as is the Child Jesus who rides the shoulders of the Saint in the safety of his grasp. Both the Child and Christopher wear typical Andean caps and ponchos. They are woven in rich Bolivian patterns.
Traditional iconography gives witness to the human face of the Sacred. This icon, imaged in the features of America’s indigenous peoples, reveals anew that sacred power. It celebrates the soul of the Native American as the original spiritual presence on this continent, and as a prophetic sign, it celebrates the reconciliation of the spiritual vision of Native and Christian peoples of this land.
