Allegedly born in Canaan with the name of Offerus, he was blessed with size and strength, and resolved to serve only the worthiest, rejecting Satan in the process. Eventually, a hermit convinced him to accept Christ. Instead of fast and prayer, he carried the faithful across a raging stream. One day, a child he was carrying revealed itself as God, turning this man's staff into a palm tree, converting many and angering Dagnus, who had this martyr beheaded. For ten points, identify this patron saint of travel, with a name from the Greek for "Christ bearer."
