Greco CHIcago (On plaque on front of base:) St. Christopher's Prayer/Grant me O Lord a steady hand and watchful eye/That no one shall be hurt as I pass by./Thou gavest life, I pray no act of mine/May take away or mar that gift of Thine,/Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company,/From the evils of fire and all calamity./St. Christopher, holy patron of travellers,/Protect me and lead me safely to my destiny. signed
