The hermit guided travelers to safe places to cross the stream. Offero took over the hermit's mission, but unlike the hermit, he carries travelers to safety. The weight of the child upon his shoulders almost became too much to bear. When Offero and the child arrived safely, the child revealed himself as Christ. His weight was crushing because he held the weight of the world. Christ then baptized Offero, who became known as Christopher (Christ-bearer).
