The Fallen Angel that Became the Werewolf Saint:
How a Dog-Headed Cannibal Became One of Christianity's Most Beloved Saints

You wonât hear this in Sunday school but, buried in the oldest layers of Christian tradition, hidden in crumbling medieval manuscripts and banned Orthodox icons, thereâs a saint who had the head of a dog.
Not symbolically. Not as a metaphor. Literally.
His name was Reprobus before his conversion, a name that means âscoundrelâ or âreprobate.â He stood somewhere between seven and twelve feet tall depending on which account you read, and he came from a tribe of dog-headed warriors who lived at the absolute edge of the known world, who barked instead of speaking, who ate human flesh.
Then he heard the gospel, got baptized, and changed his name to Christopher, which means âChrist-bearer.â And then something happened that the sources canât quite agree on.
Some accounts say his dogâs head became human at baptism. Others keep him dog-headed right through his martyrdom. TâŠ
