There is currently no patron saint of Turkey. This is probably due to the fact that Turkey is primarily a Muslim country. This is strange because the country of Turkey is demanding that the bones of their homeboy, St. Nichalas of Myra, be returned to them. His relics were taken many hundreds of years ago to Bari, Italy.

Does Turkey have a patron saint?
Turkey has no patron saint officially, primarily due, I suppose, to it being a Muslim country. However, I think they would like to make St. Nicholas their patron saint as he was born in that country. In the 11th century the relics of St. Nicholas were taken from the town of Myra in Turkey to protect them. They were moved to the town of Bari in Italy, where they remain today. Now Turkey has requested that the relics be returned.
