Saint Christopher is the Catholic patron saint of travelers. His most famous legend tells that he carried a child, who was unknown to him, across a river before the child revealed himself as Christ. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles.

　　Our Lady of the Highway is a representation of the Virgin Mary, Christ's mother, as protector of travelers. There are many highway shrines to Our Lady of the Highway in the USA, as well as many Catholic churches bearing the Our Lady of the Highway name.
