I wear a St. Christopher. Yeah, I KNOW he isn’t a saint, and I should wear a cross instead, but it was a present from my (very Protestant) Mother when I got my first motorbike.
Worn it ever since, 24/7/365 and only taken it off once for a week in 43 years to have it cleaned and the clasp repaired.
It stayed on through two deployments, hospital stays, the works.
It is there. I look at it from time to time and think of my parents. Then I phone them. But most of the time it is simply there, on my neck.
Not really thought about.
You are wise - our faith, whether you are Catholic, Protestant, primitive church, Orthodox requires us to live our faith.
Sometimes that does mean talking about it or displaying it. There are powerful witnesses to the Lord on here. People who have made this newbie feel at home and who discuss our different takes on religion gracefully. A couple who have taken me to the woodshed, in the nicest possible way. A couple who, while we disagree about our methods of worship, are people I am fast considering firm friends.
I have often thought that one of the reasons the Church commanded us to do good works, to our abilities, is to remind us that faith is not something you put on on Sunday (or Saturday, or Friday, or for bible study Wednesday night in a drafty church hall). It is a constant way to remind us to live our faith.
Not just pull it out and look at it sometimes, like my poor but beloved medallion.
He has been removed from the universal calendar but not from the martyrology—so the Church still holds that he existed.
St.Christopher still is a Saint, a martyr of 3rd century:

St. Christopher is a saint. Period.
