The Symbolism of the Dog-Headed Saint Christopher
The limit, edge or buffer between two things, as a manifestation of the garments of skin, comes to us as death and darkening. This marginal space can also appear as a hybrid, mixture, an in-between which mingles elements together. Hybridity, like a bridge touching both sides of a river, is the natural shape of an in between place.
Saint Christopher is to us the “farthest” person, the person which we can barely see because of our own limited horizon. He is also for us our own limit, our garments skin, to which we should not deny the danger and monstrosity, but which has the potential of being christophoros, just as that farthest of persons has the same potential, for it was Christ’s last words to us that he would be with us until the ends of the earth.

About Our T-shirts
A perfect blend of comfort, style and faith. Made from high-quality ring-spun organic cotton. Designed for the Christian who seeks to combat the nihilism of the modern age, it embodies a unique marriage of Orthodox symbolism and the rebellious spirit of punk, metal and hardcore.
Our t-shirts feature custom designs, conceived and crafted in Montreal, showcasing a dark aesthetic reminiscent of death Memento Mori, and demonstrating that the Christian life must be infused with violence to face the passions: The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force (Matthew 11:12).
An excellent purchase for yourself, or for a brother in Christ who loves punk, metal or hardcore aesthetics, that will serve as a daily reminder of our faith and the Last Judgment.
