Double inversion of (dog headed giant) St Christopher
Orthodox Church (Russian)
…
Reprobus sought to follow the most powerful, so he followed the king.
Reprobus learned that the king feared the devil, so he followed the devil.
Reprobus learned that the devil feared Christ, so he followed Christ.
… the Christian hermit taught him, if you can’t fast, if you can’t pray, then use your great size and strength to carry people across the river
Reprobus carried the Christ-child across the river, bearing the weight of the world’s sins
Reprobus became Christopher (bearer of Christ)
Christopher was killed by the Roman Emperor
