Anglo-Saxon Saints were Christian figures who played a significant role in spreading Christianity in England during the early medieval period. Many of these saints were missionaries, such as St. Augustine of Canterbury, who helped convert the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to Christianity. Their lives and deeds were often recorded in hagiographies, which are biographies of saints that highlight their virtues and miracles. These saints were venerated for their piety and contributions to the church, and many became the patrons of local communities. Notable examples include St. Cuthbert and St. Edmund, whose legacies continue to influence English culture and religious practices today.
