Is it just Catholics who believe in them?

St Brigid of Ireland - a useful saint. Brewed
beer in her bathwater for visiting clergy.

IPA, stout, bitter? We shall never know.

There is some debate over whether St Brigid was a real person.

St Brigid is said to have had a female companion named Dar Lugdach, a younger nun whom she shared her bed with.

Anglicans name their Churches after saints and have saint days etc, but are much less focused on using them for intercession.

According to the bible, all born again Christians are called saints. The word simply means "holy ones".
