The Orthodox Church recognizes the importance of choosing a patron saint for yourself or your family. A patron saint is a person who has special meaning for you, and is often represented in pictures, icons, or statues. Most Orthodox Christians have a patron saint, and they usually receive this saint on the day of their baptism. If you don’t have a patron saint yet, you can pray to God to connect you to one and ask them to protect and act on your behalf. Alternatively, you can meditate on a particular saint and ask the Holy Spirit to implant the love of this saint in your heart.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the tradition of choosing a patron saint began during the reign of the Roman Empire. Many public Christian churches were built over the graves of Holy Martyrs, and the saint whose remains were placed beneath the building became the patron saint of the church. In time, Christians began dedicating churches to other holy men and women. Some were even martyrs themselves, and these holy men and women were later made into patron saints.

Choosing a patron saint is an important part of Orthodox Christianity. Your patron saint is your personal advocate before God in heaven.

Some Orthodox Christians prefer to name their children after a Saint. The name you choose will be used for the rest of your child’s life. Orthodox children receive their names at baptism. The saint whose name they receive at baptism becomes their patron. In this way, the child will be known as a Christian.
