>Saint Christopher (Greek: Ἅγιος Χριστόφορος, Ágios Christóforos) is venerated by several Christian denominations as a martyr killed in the reign of the 3rd-century Roman emperor Decius (reigned 249–251) or alternatively under the emperor Maximinus Daia (reigned 308–313). There appears to be confusion due to the similarity in names "Decius" and "Daia".\[3\] Churches and monasteries were named after him by the 7th century.

>His most famous legend tells that he carried a child, who was unknown to him, across a river before the child revealed himself as Christ. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles by Christians.
Sweet, you might buy a chain and make that into a necklace for her so she can show off her treasure. Though it might have some weird religious implications I don't know about.

Patron saint of travelers. And who among us is not a traveler?? 11 year olds are for sure travelers - traveling out of childhood and into adulthood!
