Icons aren't always literal, they can convey a meaning that's deeper

one interprets it because St Christopher came from a race that was considered Barbaric

we know from the story that the saint was a very strong man who worships deities, but he later longed to worship a god that's the strongest

then long story short he met our LORD in the form of a child who is stronger than anything, then he repented

the saint was depicted as dog-headed human, why?

The name Barbarian to describe the uncivilized, is speculated to come from the noises dogs make (the barking dogs make) this can be because

dogs are the creatures closest to man, called man's best friend, dogs aren't foreign, yet foreign at the same time, so perhaps that's why Barbarians really are called Barbarians

the saint also acquired human (Roman) tongue to preached to the civilized and martyred, to make the saint dog-headed might've been used to emphasize how foreign he was and the significance of him acquiring he language used by the civilized, since it did make everyone to contemplate God's majesty

Sancte Christoforus, ora pro nobis

Charlemagne X Irene of Athens

Made a fanart, Charlemagne x Irene of Athens

The ending we all desired

I wish they were together, the west and the east would've been united under one Rome.

Both could've been venerated as Saints. Well, at least one is venerated locally as a saint (for Irene)

O joyful light of the holy glory of the immortal Father, the heavenly, holy, blessed Jesus Christ. Now that we have reached the setting of the sun and behold the evening light, we sing to God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is fitting at all times to praise you with cheerful voices, O Son of God, the Giver of life. Behold, the world sings your glory.

O Lord, keep us this evening without sin. Blessed are you, O Lord, God of our fathers, and praised and glorified is your name to the ages. Amen. O Lord, let your mercy be upon us for we have set our hope in you. Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your commandments. Blessed are you, Master, grant me understanding of your commandments. Blessed are you, Holy One, enlighten me with your commandments. Lord your mercy is forever. Do not despise the works of your hands. To you is due praise, to you is due song, to you is due glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages.

The devil appeared to three monks and said to them: if I gave you power to change

something from the past, what would you change?

The first of them, with great apostolic fervor, replied: "I would prevent you from making Adam and Eve fall into sin so that humanity could not turn away from God."

The second, a man full of mercy, said to him: "I would prevent you from God and you will condemn yourself eternally".

The third of them was the simplest and, instead of responding to the tempter, he got on his knees, made the sign of the cross and prayed saying: "Lord, free me from the temptation of what could be and was not".

The devil, giving a raucous cry and shuddering with pain, vanished.

The other two, surprised, said to him: "Brother, why have you responded like this?"

He replied: "First: we must NEVER dialogue with the devil . Second: NOBODY in the world has the power to change the past. Third: Satan's INTEREST was not to prove our virtue, but to trap us in the past, so that we neglect the present, the only time God gives us His grace and we can cooperate with Him to fulfill His will ".

Of all the demons, the one that catches the most men and prevents them from being happy is that of "What could have been and was not".

The past is left to the mercy of God and

the future to his Providence. Only the present is in our hands. "Live in the moment"
