Description
Patron saint of all travelers
Apollo 12 Flown Silver Pope Paul VI St. Christopher Charm,
from Alan Bean's Personal Collection, with Certificate of
Authenticity. A 0.5" diameter silver charm with the bust of the
Pope facing right with "PAVLVS VI PONTIFEX MAXIMVS" around on the
obverse. The reverse depicts the legend of Christopher, a third
century martyr, carrying a small child across a raging river. The
child was revealed to be Christ, which is why this figure is the
patron saint of travelers. A very appropriate charm to carry on a
flight to the moon. Hallmarked ".800" fine silver. Jump ring
attached. Alan Bean would actually have an audience with Pope Paul
VI in 1971. Included with this lot is a reprint of a color photo
picturing the two together. Light wear. From the estate of
Moonwalker and Artist Alan Bean.
