Occupations sometimes have a patron saint who had been connected somewhat with it, although some of the connections were tenuous. Lacking such a saint, an occupation would have a patron whose acts or miracles in some way recall the profession. For example, when the previously unknown occupation of photography appeared in the 19th century, Saint Veronica was made its patron, owing to how her veil miraculously received the imprint of Christ's face after she wiped off the blood and sweat.[3][4][5]
The veneration or commemoration and recognition of patron saints or saints in general is found in Catholicism (including Eastern Catholicism), Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and among some Lutherans and Anglicans.[6] According to the Catholic catechism a person's patron saint, having already attained the beatific vision, is able to intercede with God for their needs.[7]
A saint can be assigned as a patron by a venerable tradition, or chosen by election. The saint is considered a special intercessor with God and the proper advocate of a particular locality, occupation, etc., and merits a special form of religious observance. A term in some ways comparable is "titular", which is applicable only to a church or institution.[9]
However, the Wahhabi and Salafi movements have latterly attacked the veneration of saints (as patron or otherwise), which they claim are a form of idolatry or shirk.[10] More mainstream Sunni clerics have critiqued this argument since Wahhabism first emerged in the 18th century.[11]
Elijah and Jethro (Shuaib) are considered patron saints of the Druze people.[12][13] In the Old Testament, Jethro was Moses' father-in-law, a Kenite shepherd and priest of Midian.[14] Muslim scholars and the Druze identify Jethro with the prophet Shuaib, also said to come from Midian.[15] Shuaib or Jethro of Midian is considered an ancestor of the Druze who revere him as their spiritual founder and chief prophet.[16]
Druze identify Elijah as "al-Khidr".[17] Druze, like some Christians, believe that the Prophet Elijah came back as Saint John the Baptist,[17][18] since they believe in reincarnation and the transmigration of the soul, Druze believe that El Khidr and Saint John the Baptist are one and the same; along with Saint George.[18]
Due to the Christian influnce on the Druze faith, two Christian saints become the Druze's favorite venerated figures: Saint George and Saint Elijah.[19] Thus, in all the villages inhabited by Druzes and Christians in central Mount Lebanon a Christian church or Druze maqam is dedicated to either one of them.[19] According to scholar Ray Jabre Mouawad the Druzes appreciated the two saints for their bravery: Saint George because he confronted the dragon and the Prophet Elijah because he competed with the pagan priests of Baal and won over them.[19] In both cases the explanations provided by Christians is that Druzes were attracted to warrior saints that resemble their own militarized society.[19]
Much depends on the local restrictions in place, but the center could have 50 donors indoors and up to a few hundred outside, with testing and other protocols in place to assure artist and patron safety.

Growing up Catholic, we were taught which saint to pray to for various needs and petitions we had to deal with in our lives. We learned certain unofficial rituals to practice in the name of certain saints too, which were all a part of our profession and belief in the faith we practiced.
With all this in mind, there is another connection that makes our visits to St. Michael Church a bit more special. St. Michael is the patron saint of Law Enforcement, and our son is a Law Enforcer, who was, on the day he received his shield, gifted two St. Michael the Protector medals, one by his Godparents, and one by Sally and me which was blessed by our friend, and late pastor, Father Dennis Mende. No matter what church I am in on any given week, I say a prayer to St. Michael, asking for his help in protecting Jon and all who have pledged to Serve and Protect in every community in every state, in every country. Praying to St. Michael at St. Michael Church, where I can see the statue of the protector of those who do policework, just makes me feel that much more at peace. Though we will never fully be at ease with the work Jon and his fellow sisters and brothers in blue do, how we have been welcomed to St. Michael in Independence, OH, makes it ease our minds and hearts just a bit more, for which we are so very grateful. Thank you to all the churches that welcome us whenever/wherever we travel, and especially, the Church of St. Michael in Independence, OH, for being our church family away from home. God Bless!

Also noted as a possible patron of the internet is St. Maximillian Kolbe, who built a large media service to bring news, information, and religious education to rural areas of Poland in the 1920s. In a similar vein for how we hope to gain much of what we find on the internet, he would give away all of his material for free. While often best-known for offering his life in the place of another in a German concentration camp, it is well worth looking up his many other contributions for the good of others.
