What is a patron saint?
A patron saint is a saint who is believed to intercede on behalf of a particular group of people, a profession, a place, or a cause. The tradition developed over fifteen centuries of Catholic devotion as the faithful found in specific saints a natural connection to their own lives, struggles, and callings. A firefighter who keeps a St. Florian medal on his apparatus is not worshipping Florian — he is asking Florian to pray alongside him, just as he might ask a friend or chaplain to pray for his safety.
The practice of wearing a patron saint medal is one of the oldest forms of Catholic devotion, documented from at least the fourth century. Soldiers carried them into battle. Sailors hung them from masts. Mothers gave them to children leaving home. Today they serve the same purpose: a physical, wearable reminder that a specific saint in heaven is praying on your behalf.
