Saint George (c. 275/280–April 23, 303) was a soldier of the Roman Empire who later became a Christian martyr. Immortalised in the tale of George and the Dragon, he is the patron saint of several countries and cities, including England, Ethiopia, Montenegro, Georgia, Barcelona and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.

Saint David (c. 500–589) (known in Welsh as Dewi Sant) was a church official, later regarded as a saint and as the patron saint of Wales. David contrasts with other national patron saints such as England's St George, in that relatively much is known about his life. However, his birth date is still controversial with suggestions ranging from 462 to 512.

Saint Andrew (Greek: Ανδρέας Andreas, "manly"), called in the Orthodox tradition Protocletos, or the First-called, is a Christian Apostle, brother of Saint Peter. Patron saint of mariners, fishermen, fishmongers, rope-makers, singers, performers, Sicily, Scotland, Greece, Russia, Romania, Amalfi and Luqa - Malta and Prussia.

Saint Patrick (415–March 17, 493, see below) was a missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of Ireland (along with Saint Brigid and Saint Columba). He is also the patron saint of excluded people, engineers, and Nigeria, which was evangelized primarily by Irish missionaries, especially priests from Saint Patrick's Missionary Society (also known as the Kiltegan Missionaries).
