The Baby Jesus in his arms: it means that each person who had the help of “São Cristovão”, is a part of Jesus, because the Messiah has always had a lot of love for everyone. That is why Cristóvão carried everyone with love and security, because serving humanity was serving the purposes of Christ.

Globe in the hand of the Baby Jesus: it symbolizes the weight of the world that Jesus carries with him, such a weight that “São Cristovão” had to bear on his shoulders, helping with gratitude to carry him.

Brown Apron: symbol of the saint's humility, who abandoned his post as prince, to serve the Lord.

Green Tunic: means the power of “São Cristovão” hope to serve the most powerful, to be devout to the One who made him find his true mission.

Red Cloak: symbolizes the martyrdom of the Saint, who did not deny Jesus even at the moment of death risk.
