Please let me know of type-in ideas that you have or better ways to stream-line the naming conventions.

As always, there are so many Saints, I'm sure I'm missing hundreds. Let me know in the comments!

I was going to recommend adding St Gerard, too. You can add the type-in "St Gerard of Hungary", or "St Gellért of Hungary", too.

There was also a St. Gerard Majella in the 18th century. (I haven't heard of him before, either.)

Great quiz, and I'm glad it's been spotlighted!

Good quiz ! As a French, I'd like to suggest to look up some of our saints that might have crept under your radar :

- st Germain of Paris

- st Martial of Limoges

- st Honoratus of Amiens

- st Radegund of Poitiers

- st Faith of Agen or Conques

- st Sulpicius of Bourges

- st Audomar/Omer and his disciple st Bertin

Excellent quiz, although I fear that in this fashion can never be complete. The Catholic Church has more than ten thousand named saints...

Perhaps you could try to restrict the list to saints with at least a given number of shrines devoted to them.

St Florian is in Europe the most common protector against fires, there are tons of images and sculptures in the squares, on houses and on village fire stations. St Barbara is more traditionally associated with miners, artillery and military engineers, close enough that in some countries she got linked with firefighters, like France or US.

To be fair, it would take way to look to look through the titles. I actually intended to take him off or at least give it as a pre-provided answer since he is never called "Saint." But now that it's featured, I will wait to do so until the next reset, which won't be for a while (1 per year max).

I would also like to mention that certain people from the old testament are sometimes included in liturgical calendars as "Old Covenant Saints", although some are grouped together. I saw in an earlier comment that you decided not to add them but I thought I'd reference the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 61:

"61 The patriarchs, prophets and certain other Old Testament figures have been and always will be honoured as saints in all the Church's liturgical traditions."

Either way you decide I still think this is a really neat quiz!

Yes, thanks for your comment!

I'm not sure how well-defined that groups of certain Old Testament prophets/patriarchs/others that are revered as saints is. Some are obviously included, e.g., Abraham (who is actually my confirmation saint, which is how I learned about the "Old Covenant Saints" so long ago). And also, typically, when one thinks of the saints, they think New Testament and after. This is why most likely in the next update, I'll either take off or grey out Jesus as an answer since, even though he's a human in Heaven, he isn't what you'd think of when you're thinking of the Catholic saints.

Alas, my knowledge of Welsh saints didn't come in as handy as I thought D: The following weren't on the list but it might be that they're not officially recognised: St. Dwynwen, St. Padarn, St. Deiniol, St. Teilo, St. Brynach, St. Seiriol, and St. Cybi

Wow, this must have taken a ton of work!

I missed many I should have known, but am pleased to have gotten a bunch that have been guessed less than 5% of the time to date.

I have a few type-ins to suggest for the next update:

- Wenceslaus for good king Wenceslas? I usually see it spelled with the u and didn't think to try a variant without it.

- Mary of the desert for Mary of Egypt? Not sure if that's a common title for her but it's what came to mind for me.

- Brigitte of Sweden for Bridget of Sweden? Not sure if that's a common spelling or not but it's all that came to mind for me.

Thanks for your consideration!

Awesome quiz! While it will probably never be totally comprehensive, I'm impressed by the work that is put in.

A couple that seem to be missing:

Mungo

John Stone

Anna and Simeon (from Luke chapter 2)

I might also suggest accepting KathErine Drexel as a type in (I think I've even seen her name spelled with a C rather than a K).

Unrelated, but I'm also surprised with how low a lot of saints that I'd consider well-known are. Frances Cabrini just had a movie about her, and Pier Giorgio has been in the news with his recent canonization, and both are sitting at about 2% right now.

Amazing work! Here are some Catalan saints you may want to add (although you've already included many!):

Cucuphas (martyr, 3rd century)

Juliana

Semproniana (both of them martyrs and disciples of Cucuphas)

Olegarius (12th century)

Joseph Oriol (17th century)

Josep Manyanet (19th century)

Most people would be extremely disappointed to realise how sainthood actually works. Having studied the process, I think it totally devalues the concept. The way which “miracles” are confirmed would make the average person laugh out loud. There are a number of bona fide rotters among the canonised. And worst of all, the modern process requires connections, time and money. Lots of it. The child of a wealthy family with a long history of high-level ecclesiastical service who dies in childhood might have more chance of being made a saint than someone who spends a lifetime helping the poor and needy.

Hypocrisy in the church? Whatever next?

So Petronius of Bologna would be another one. The patron saint of Bologna. His feast day is October 4th, which is significant because when the Gregorian calendar was implemented the calendar went from October 4th to the 25th of October. Where did Pope Gregory the 13th come from? Well Bologna of course. Maybe a coincidence but I do think an interesting connection.

Saint Marinus, namesake of San Marino?
