medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Here's an URL to patron saints of anything or anyone having to do with seafaring, sailors, mariners, etc.
http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/pst00620.htm
I'm a bit surprised they didn't include Philip (or is it Simon?), an apostle sometimes depicted holding a ship.

Greetings all!
I´m seeking information on two related topics:
1) saints with a reputation for aiding seafarers (Nicholas and Clement come to mind immediately -
are there others?)
2) any references to vows for safety at sea, including AFTER the Reformation. there seems to be
a continuous tradition of votive ships given to churches by grateful sailors - is there any literature
on this practice?
thanks in advance,
Meg
