A "patron saint" is a saint who is regarded as the protector or guardian of a particular group, place, or activity. Many people believe that these saints intercede on behalf of those who pray to them, offering guidance and support. Each patron saint is often associated with specific causes, such as Saint Christopher for travelers or Saint Jude for lost causes. Patron saints are recognized in various religious traditions, particularly in Christianity. Communities may celebrate their patron saint with festivals, prayers, and rituals. The concept serves to strengthen the faith of believers and foster a sense of belonging within a community.
