Question:

Saint for Confimation?


I'm getting confirmed at my church and I have to pick a saint. The saint's name will also become my second middle name. I realllllllly love the name autumn. Is there a saint autumn? PLEASE REPLY! And also what is the saint for warmth?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: With all due respect to the clown who decided to use your very good question to show how much she or he doesn't know about the scriptures... he/she should probably read Hebrews 11-12 to see how the author writes about those who are STILL living with God in heaven... and get a clue.

Now, to YOUR question. I'm glad that you're taking it seriously.

Unfortunately, most saints are not named after naturalist things.... Meadow, Hunter, Summer and Autumn do not appear among the Canon of Saints. In fact, many people after conversion in the ancient church often took the names of their favorite saints.

However here are some saints that are celebrated in various parts of the world on September 21st or 22nd, the first days of the autumn season.

September 21::
Sts. Chastan & Imbert
Sts. Chastan & Imbert
St. Maura Troyes
St. Alexander
St. Thomas Dien
St. Francis Jaccard
St. Gerulph
St. Hieu
St. Mabyn
St. Meletius
St. Pamphilus

September 22 ::
St. Maurice
St. Thomas of Villanueva
St. Salaberga
St. Sanctinus
St. Digna & Emerita
St. Emmeramus
St. Florentius
St. Jonas
St. Lauto
St. Lioba
St. Lolanus
Martyrs of the Theban Legion

Mainly though, I would pick a saint that has had some influence on your life. It would be more meaningful to find someone whom you admire rather than someone who has a "cool name." All the best for your confirmation. Source(s):
http://www.catholic.org/saints/f_day/sep... In the Bible when Paul writes to the saints he is writing to people who are alive NOT dead.
I guess you are being taught in a RC school where they do not teach the truth of the Holy Scriptures.
I am sure that there is a living person who is called Autumn who is a Bible believing Born Again Holy Spirit filled Christian.
However if you are looking for someone who is dead? I have to ask why? The dead are dead and why pray to them, they Holy Scriptures tell us not to.
You can call yourself what you want, but please look to the teaching of the Bible rather than what some priest tells you. Check EVERYTHING out and dont take someone elses word for what they say.
The book of deuteronomy tells us to have nothing to do with talking to the dead. THIS IS SIN!
