Properties[]
As an archetype, a patron saint, is a saint deity-like being who represents or is associated heavenly ascension or ascension to Sainthood by the people. Patron saints can be found throughout most of recorded history in various forms. Saints can either be deities that have been converted, archangels, and/or humans who’ve ascended to become deity-like beings.
Saints often become the patrons of places where they were born or had been active. However, there were cases in Medieval Europe where a city which grew to prominence and obtained for its cathedral the remains or some relics of a famous saint who had lived and was buried elsewhere, thus making them the city's patron saint – such a practice conferred considerable prestige on the city concerned. The veneration or "commemoration" and recognition of patron saints or saints in general is found in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, some Christians even, and among some Lutherans and Anglicans. Catholics especially believe that patron saints, having already transcended to the metaphysical, are able to intercede effectively for the needs of their special charges.
There are also several different types of Saints: Ascended Humans, Deities and Angels.
