Saints and sainthood are not a part of their practice. Of course Saint Patrick holds a special place in everyone's heart on the 17th of March without concern to faith. In The Bible, Christians are all referred to as "saints". This is the belief to which Lutheranism subscribes. Lutherans do not single out individuals to be canonised as saints: saints are simply sinners saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Do the Dutch Lutherans have patron saints?
Saints do not hold quite the same role for Lutherans as for Roman Catholics. The Lutheran liturgical calendar designates days of commemoration to believers who have gone before us as examples of Christian virtue and as people of faith. Lutherans pray in the example of the Saints and pray to be likened to them in faith. Lutherans do not, however, petition to the Saints for prayer, protection or blessing. If we are praying to God for patience and strenght, we may pray that He grant us a patience like that of the Virgin Mary. If we are praying for understanding and peace, we may pray that we are granted a sense of peace and understanding like that of Saint Francis.
