According to the legend, a giant named Offera lived close to a 
stream, which was difficult to cross owing to floods, so the giant 
spent his time in the noble work of helping persons across. One 
night, a child wished to be taken across, Offera placed the child 
on his shoulders and crossed the stream. When the shore was 
reached the child told him he was the Maker of the World whom 
he had carried on his shoulder, and that he accepted his service, 
in token of which, He bade Offera plant his staff, which at once 
bore leaves and fruit. The child vanished, but Offera fell down 
and prayed, and from that day having carried Christ, he was 
henceforth known as Christopher. Subsequently he was beheaded 
for being a Christian. 
The figure of St. Lawrence is habited similar to St. Stephen 
with the exception of white in place of amber band. He holds a 
gridiron.
