St Luke had to overcome the problem of wishing to write Jesus's biography (now the Gospel of Luke) without ever having met Jesus. To that end, he meticulously interviewed many of the people who walked with, talked with, were healed by, or merely briefly encountered Christ. He was also Greek, which meant he was not always easily accepted by the Jews, who did not appreciate the Gentile influence. Luke was also one of Paul's most loyal followers, left alone to tend Paul when all others had left him (2 Timothy 4:11).
Luke is the patron of several things but of no countries.
