According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, the Mozarabic Breviary and Missal
attributed to Isidore of Seville contains an office in his honour.
Conceivably, Eastern tradition preserved similarly antique material. In Eastern
iconography, Christopher is said to have retained his cynocephalous aspect in
some representations down to the eighteenth century.
