Just
as angels are guardians and protectors, so too are patron saints. Patron
saints can be specific to the individual, according to date of birth,
occupation, country or city of origin. Some patron saints have multiple
representations. For example, San Francisco is the patron saint of both
Santa Fe and New Mexico. Additionally, San Francisco is the patron saint
of children, animals, and environmentalists. In olden times, Christian
children were named for the patron saint of their day of birth (This was
true even in my grandparents' time.). In the Christian faith, particularly
among Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, saints are used to intercede
between man and God. These intercessors are often patron saints but can
also be favorite saints or even angels.
Today, you too can
surround and protect your loved ones and your environment with the age-old
spirituality experienced by my ancestors. For a personalized listing
