Patron Saints by realm, craft, and need—Luke, Ivo, Crispin; sea, childbirth, plague, toothache
Every realm, town, and craft keeps a singular patron Saint.
Luke for doctors, Ivo for lawyers, Crispin for shoemakers; James for Spain, Mark for Venice.
Special needs: Paul and Nicholas at sea; Margaret in childbirth; Roch in plague; Apollonia for toothache.
Latin
XLIX. Porro in Ecclesia Romana solenne est ut singula regna, Urbes atque pagi, singula quoque collegia, tum artificum, tum eorum qui honestioribus professionibus vacant, aliquem ex Sanctis habeant pro patrono quodam singulari, cujus tutelae sese peculiariter commendant. Sic Lucas Medicorum, Yvo Advocatorum, Crispinus Cerdonum Patroni habentur. Et Hispania Jacobum Apostolum, Dominium Venetorum Marcum Evangelistam sibi Patronos pridem asciverunt. Et ita de caeteris. Ac praeterea quoque mos est, ut in certis morbis, periculis, & necessitatibus, ad unum potius Sanctorum quam ad alium confugiatur. Sic qui in mari periclitantur implorant opem Pauli Apostoli, & Nicolai Myrensis Episcopi. Margareta parturientibus, Rochus laborantibus peste, Apollonia illis quos torquet dentium dolor, peculiari quadam ratione subvenire putantur.
