The Quiz: What is St. Patrick NOT the patron saint of?
Nigeria
Brewers
Engineers
Ireland
It’s no surprise that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, but he also has a few other causes to champion. Since 1961, he has served as the patron saint of Nigeria, after a long history of Irish missionary work there. He has also long been the patron of engineers, having received a Roman education in advanced engineering concepts. Despite the association of beer with St. Patrick’s Day, however, St. Patrick is not the patron saint of brewers.
The correct answer to this quiz is Brewers.
