Now this is just cheating

Saint Drausinus (Bishop of Soissons, d. c. 674) is, apparently, the patron saint of the invincible. What do they need the help of a patron saint for?


Figure 1. The municipal seal of Soissons, about 550 years newer than St. Drausinus, a picture of whom I was unable to find. But look, maybe one of those guys on the side is supposed to be Drausinus. You never know.

Apparently he’s also the patron saint of people merely thought to be invincible. They, on the other hand, undoubtedly need all the help they can get.

Man, what a sweet gig! All those saintly benefits, and you don't have to actually do anything!

Pretty good deal, isn’t it?
