Saints

St. Isaiah, also known as Isaiah the Prophet, is considered a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is not officially recognized as a patron saint in the Catholic tradition, as he predates the establishment of the Christian Church. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, he is venerated as a prophet and his feast day is celebrated on May 9th. He is known for his prophecies in the Old Testament, particularly in the Book of Isaiah.

Born to the Italian nobility. Mother of two sons, grandmother of several children, all of whom she outlived. Widow. Franciscan tertiary. Friend of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare of Assisi. Legend says that Francis gave her a lamb that followed her back and forth to church, and would wake her in the morning in time for services.

She lived a worthy and holy life for God through her works and friendship with St. Francis.

Saint Sophia lived during Roman times. Unfortunately, very little information has survived about the early saints, simply because the documents have deteriorated over time. We know she is a saint, and to become recognized as a saint she must have met several requirements, including miracles. The lack of documentation does not mean she has no miracles attributed to her, it just means none of the documentation has survived.

No miracles are associated with Saint Victoria. She was martyred for her refusal to marry a Pagan noble. Though starved and threatened, Saint Victoria would not accept the suitor's proposal. Incurring the wrath of her former suitor, she was sent to the Roman general for beheading.

Unfortunately, no. Being a barer of the name myself, I checked a long time ago. I was raised Catholic and all my siblings are named after Saints, except me. Perhaps my mother suspected Pamela would be a better fit.

There is no patron saint of house builders. However, there are several patron saints of carpenters:

Anne

Barbara

Eulogius of Cordoba

Joseph

Matthias

Thomas the Apostle

Wolfgang

St. Catherine of Siena chose her saint name because she was born in Siena, Italy. She believed that Siena held a special significance in her life and wanted to honor the city by adopting it as part of her name.

There is no recognized saint named Tyler in traditional Christian hagiography. The process of canonization in the Catholic Church involves extensive research and evidence of a person's holiness and miracles attributed to their intercession. While there may be individuals named Tyler who are revered for their faith and good works, they have not been officially recognized as saints in the traditional sense.

At the time Saint Cecilia was martyred, no miracles were required for a person to be declared a saint. Cecilia was declared a saint by the local Christians with the approval of the bishop based on her life of heroic virtue and martyrdom.

We have no record of any miracles worked by Our Lord through the intercession of St. Cecilia. However, when her body was exhumed in the 16th century, it was incorrupt and looked as fresh as on the day she died 1400 years earlier.

In a series of paintings by Raphael di Santi of Urbino (Italy) two are illustrated on small predella panels (panels designed to decorate the "step" of an altar). Shortly after the Saints's passing, a heretical faction gathered in Palestine to dispute the doctrine and existence of Purgatory. Eusebius of Cremona, a follower of St. Jerome was instructed to take the Saint's cloak and lay it upon three men who recently died. This was to be done in the presence of believers and non-believers of orthodox Christianity. When Eusebius did this this, the three men revived, praised God and related their relative experiences of existence in Purgatory. The next miracle described took place outside of the City of Nazareth (the town of Jesus). The Archbishop of the place was named Silvanus and was accused by a heretic named Sabinianus of preaching a false doctrine contrary to Christian dogma approved of by Imperial authority (in short, challenging the Peace of Church & State). When Silvanus produced a book wriiten by St. Jerome supporting his argument, Sabianianus declared it a forgery and said that if it was true, that Divine intervention would prove it so. When this did not happen, Sabinianus pressed the charge and had Silvanus arrested and led away to be executed. Just before the blow was to be struck, the Saint appeared and halted the sword. Sabinianus suddenly fell to the ground, dead, his head mysteriously severed. His followers subsequently submitted to the teachings of the Church at Nazareth. There is another involving saving two hanged men from the gallows, which I have not recounted. It may be in The Golden Legend.

As an experienced educator, I must clarify that St. Bernadette of Lourdes, a Catholic saint known for her visions of the Virgin Mary, did not have a documented favorite color. While there may be artistic interpretations or personal preferences associated with her, it is not a factual detail found in historical accounts or religious texts. It's important to distinguish between verifiable information and speculative or creative interpretations when discussing historical figures.

Don't say it was orange/red because only 10 % of the whole Irish population has that hair colour ! I am sure it was grey later on because he was old :) But I am not sure about his hair colour when he was young :(

Oh honey, the Claretians honor Saint Anthony Mary Claret by opening a national shrine. It's like a big ol' thank you card to the guy for being such a rockstar saint. So, if you ever find yourself at a Claretian national shrine, you know who's getting all the praise and glory.

Very little factual information survives about Cecilia, including such questions about her favorites. The answer is unknown.

Well, isn't that a lovely name, Christabel? While it may not be traditionally associated with a specific saint, every name has its own special meaning and significance. Remember, it's not just the name that matters, but the kindness and love we show others that truly makes us saintly.

St. Brendan is the patron saint of sailors/ navigators/etc. He lived from 484-577 AD and was from County Kerry in Ireland. he set sail for many years in an large curagh and trusted in God to guide his ship. He reached Iceland and Greenland and was rumored to have reached the Americas as well. While there is no patron saint of the sea per se, Brendan is the patron saint of sea-faring people. I hope this answers your question.

yes, St Patrick lived out these beatitudes In his life blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Caring, Beautiful, Compassionate, Smart, and Curious

Saint Donna is the patron saint of waitresses, bartenders, and servers. So if you're looking for some divine intervention to help you score some extra tips or avoid spilling drinks on customers, she's your gal. Just don't expect her to magically make entitled customers disappear - even saints have their limits.

Alick MacKillop Marys little brother died of rematic fever

Saint Raphael is an Archangel, not a human. Therefore, as Angels never die, Saint Raphael never died.

Well honey, there ain't no Saint Grant in the Catholic church. You must be thinking of someone else, maybe Saint Francis of Assisi or Saint Anthony of Padua. But Grant? Nope, not on the list. Next time, try asking about someone who actually made the cut.

Ah, St. Faustina is often recognized by the Divine Mercy image, which features Jesus with rays of red and white light emanating from His heart. This powerful symbol represents God's infinite mercy and love for all of us, reminding us to trust in His compassion and forgiveness. Embracing this symbol can bring comfort and hope in times of need.
