Patron Saint Medals and Statues as Holiday Presents


The Holiday Season is just around the corner, and so we are again on frenzy about what to give our loved ones and friends. Don’t you think it is a great idea it is if you decide on giving them patron saint statues, medals and even guardian angel pins. Well, we have to be realistic that not all will appreciate this kind of presents albeit it can be worth a try.

For example, if you have a relative who is a physician, then it would be great if you give him a Catholic saint statue or medal of St. Luke, who is the Patron Saint of surgeons and Doctors

Base your gift of saint medal and statue on the occupation of the person that you will give a Christmas present. Here is a saint list which you can use as reference.

St. Matthew – Patron Saint of Accountants
Saint Thomas the Apostle – Architects
Saint Joseph - Carpenters
Saint Paul – Patron St of editors and newspapermen

I take mention of Saint Paul as I believe his patronage can help most of us who write to assist in providing light in all our writings and in helping us publish only the truth. I have a friend who is a blogger and I am sure if he will be happy if he will receive a gift of Saint Paul statue this holidays.

If you have children in your family who are students, then it is great if you can give them some saint medal of St. Benedict or St. Thomas Aquinas.

Catholic saints act not only as our mediator but our protector as well. This is why it is we would want to wear patron saint medals as a means of honoring them.
