That would be good to know, the next time I break Linux.
Too bad Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman aren't Orthodox, or in a hundred years or so, we might have a couple of Saints of Free Software? (Unmercenaries?) ;)

It's funny you mention Linux because I'm starting a PC business and I cannot think of a name. This is why I was wondering if there was a Patron Saint of repair.

I'm not a big fan of blind "patronage". Read the lives of the saints. Get to know them. Then if a certain saint comes to mind in a certain situation based that relationship, that is one thing. Creating "a list" for people who don't know anything else about that saint is another. Just my 2 cents...

Good point. I have decided on a name that is non-Saint related, which I think is for the best. Thank you everyone for your input.

My company is called Eikona IT Services.

Years ago, I was going to start a company, Extol Data Networking. That one never got started though.

Hi :wave:

I am wondering if the Orthodox Church has a patron Saint for fixing things, or repairing things? I looked around on the net but could not find any information. Thanks!

Saint Eligius (588 - 660)

He is a catholic saint that lived during the time when EOs were in communion with the catholic church.

He is the patron saint of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
