Escultura de Cristóvão, o Portador de Cristo. A imagem original em madeira, encontra-se guardada no Museu de Riga, pois é datada de 1590. Offero era um gigante bondoso e, transportava viajantes de uma margem para a outra. Um dia uma criança pediu que a levasse para a outra margem, mas Offero, teve dificuldades em a transporta, devido ao seu peso. Quando chegou, a criança apresentou-se como Cristo e disse que o seu peso eram os pecados do Mundo.

1997 replica of a 1683 wooden statue that is located in the national museum. The statue is called "Big Christopher". A plaque tells the legend about Big Christopher and the founding of Riga. The legend is that Christopher once carried a child across the river. Being exhausted, they both fell asleep after the crossing. In the morning where the child had slept, Big Christopher found a chest of gold coins that were used to establish the city.
