Beyond being considered as a simple coincidence or perhaps as a representative fashion of that era that was characterized by revolutionizing the, until then, obsolete foundations of religious architecture in the West, we must appreciate, in the disturbing presence, similar to the most of the Gothic cathedrals that illuminated the shameful shadows caused by that period of notable confusion that preceded the Early Middle Ages, of that imposing giant, Saint Christopher, bearer of the Child God, something more than a symbolic allusion to the supremacy of Christianity over to the pagan considerations of previous cults.
It would not be the first time that alchemists and esoteric scholars met there, as happened, for example, in the Parisian cathedral of Notre Dame, searching in the allusions, both alchemical and astrological, for some fascinating sculptures, which, according to the mysterious author, Fulcanelli, were full of argotic meanings, the keys to achieving the Great Work. Keys, of which it could be said, that this curious character - which, in addition, Gothic painters used to represent fording a river, with a fascinating variety of symbology, including characters from the mysterious Tarot deck, such as the Hermit - carries, in The Latin force of his name, Christophoros, skillfully concealed, is part of that underground and exclusive message for initiates, because, as was the case with Cervantes and his immortal character, Don Quixote of La Mancha, objectivity and subjectivity came together. So, in addition to being able to be translated as Bearer of Christ, it can also be made as Bearer of Gold.
Más allá de poder considerarse como una simple coincidencia o quizás, como una moda representativa de esa época que se caracterizó por revolucionar los, hasta entonces, obsoletos fundamentos de la arquitectura religiosa en Occidente, hemos de apreciar, en la turbadora presencia, afín a la mayoría de las catedrales góticas que iluminaron las procaces sombras provocadas por ese periodo de notable confusión que precedió a la Alta Edad Media, de ese imponente gigantón, San Cristóbal, portador del Niño Dios, algo más que una alusión simbólica a la supremacía del Cristianismo frente a las consideraciones paganas de los cultos anteriores.
No sería la primera vez, que, en ellas, se reunían los alquimistas y los estudiosos de lo esotérico, tal y como sucedía, por ejemplo, en la catedral parisina de Notre Dame, buscando, en las alusiones, tanto alquímicas como astrológicas, de unas fascinantes esculturas, que, según el misterioso autor, Fulcanelli, estaban repletas de significados argóticos, las claves para la consecución de la Gran Obra. Claves, de las que se podría decir, que éste curioso personaje -que, además, los pintores góticos solían representar vadeando un río, con una fascinante variedad de simbología, incluidos personajes de la mistérica baraja del Tarot, como el Ermitaño- porta, en la fuerza latina de su nombre, Christophoros, hábilmente disimulada, parte de ese mensaje subterráneo y exclusivo para iniciados, porque, como ocurría con Cervantes y su inmortal personaje, Don Quijote de la Mancha, objetividad y subjetividad se daban cita. De manera que, además de poder traducirse como Portador de Cristo, también puede hacerse como Portador del Oro.
