Today, April 23rd is Saint George's Day.He's England's patron saint.He was, naturally, not English. Those who affect 'patriotism'[ In England this means something completely different to its American meaning] will sing Jerusalem (obviously), read the peculiarly English poems of Sir John Betjeman (of a German family) and think of great English heroes, like the Duke of Wellington (Irish) and Winston Churchill (half-American)

It's not a holiday and nobody celebrates it.

My questions are : Does America have a patron saint ?(I imagine not, none of you being religious, as it's against the constitution, or something like that )

Did the USA ever have one?

Did the founding fathers or any early leaders ever propose one ?

If you could, which Saint would you nominate ?

In a country originally dominated by settlers of a Calvinist bent, it was never going to be likely that a saint would be proposed later on for candidacy. The Founding Fathers were, I believe, in the main, agnostics, despite their public pronouncements. Anti-Catholicism or at least suspicion did in Thomas Dewey and caused Kennedy to have to pledge the Vatican would not interfere with US policy. I would propose St. Cecilia, patron of music, for purely personal reasons: her day is my birthday.
