Christopher of Toledo, also known as Christopher of La Guardia or “the Holy Child of La Guardia,” was a four–year–old Christian boy supposedly murdered by two Jews and three Conversos (converts to Christianity).
In total, eight men were executed. It is now believed that this case was constructed by the Spanish Inquisition to facilitate the expulsion of Jews from Spain. He was canonized by Pope Pius VII in 1805. Christopher has since been removed from the canon, though once again, a handful of individuals still claim the validity of this case.
