Patron saints are saints assigned to protect or intercede for specific groups, places, or causes. For example, St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers, while St. Jude is known as the patron saint of lost causes. Each saint often reflects the values and characteristics associated with their designated role, providing spiritual support to those who seek their intercession. Various cultures and religions may have their own lists of patron saints, reflecting diverse traditions and beliefs.
