Monachos.net - How to Choose Patron Saints

We would like to choose a Patron Saint for our family. We each have Patron Saints, but have heard of people having a Saint for the whole family and would like to do the same.

My husband is leaning toward Holy Archangel Michael. Is there any particular method (s) of making this choice? Is it just the same as when we chose our individual saints?

Monachos.net, a web site dedicated to the study of Orthodox Christianity through its patristic, monastic and liturgical heritage.

As the whole Orthodox world celebrates in these days the bright Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we wish all our readers the joy and blessings of the Feast of Feasts. May the peace of the risen Christ abide in the hearts of all men! We invite you to visit the many resources on Monachos.net for the Paschal season.
