Saints Mixture Trivia Questions

1. Swedish nun Elizabeth Hesselblad founded a new order of the Bridgettine Sisters but is particularly remembered for her work to protect the lives of Jews during the Second World War. What other honour was she awarded for her heroism?

From Quiz
Newly Sainted: Believers in the World

Answer: Righteous Among the Nations

Maria Elizabeth Hesselblad (1870-1957) was canonised by Pope Francis on 5 June 2016 after Pope John Paul II beatified her in 2000. She was born in Sweden, but moved to the USA in the late 1880s where she studied nursing and converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism. After spending time in Rome, she joined a convent and made her religious vows to the order founded by Saint Bridget of Sweden. In 1911 she founded a new order of Bridgettine Sisters with a special focus on caring for the sick and by 1931 had set up a new convent in Rome. During the Second World War, Hesselblad and the sisters she worked with continued their charitable work caring for the poor, but also - in secret - hid dozens of Jewish people from the occupying Nazi forces, saving them from deportation to concentration camps such as Auschwitz. The term Righteous Among the Nations is an honour awarded by the state of Israel to non-Jews who, at great personal risk, protected or saved the lives of Jews during the Holocaust. Elizabeth Hesselblad was named as a Righteous Among the Nations in 2004 - nearly fifty years after her death.

2. Two juveniles left their fishing nets for a jolly jaunt with Jesus that would end with a journey to Jerusalem. Two of Jesus' disciples were siblings; what were their names?

From Quiz Saint J

Answer: James and John

Eleven of the twelve apostles are now known as saints (Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus and led to his arrest, so he is not considered a saint). Two of Jesus' followers were James and John. When Jesus first recruited them in Matthew 4, they were preparing nets in a fishing boat with their father. The fact that they were helping their dad and not working alone suggests that they were both still quite young. When the two disciples are mentioned together, James is usually named before John, implying that John was the youngest.

3. St. Angela of Foligno, who lived from c.1248 to 1309, was a Christian mystic and spiritual writer who became known by what title?

From Quiz Newly Sainted

Answer: Mistress of Theologians

St Angela was a member of the Third Order of St. Francis back in the late 13th and early 14th centuries - a 'third order' being a group of people who are committed to living to the ideals and spirit of Christian churches, but who often tend to live secular lives (although some may be ordained). Angela was a late convert to a religious life having first married and had children (who all pre-deceased her). She then became a prolific writer on Christian themes, particularly her own visions and religious experiences. She was canonised over 700 years after her death by Pope Francis in October 2013. Her feast day is January 4th (or January 7th in the US) and amongst other things she is the patron saint of people struggling with temptation (particularly sexual temptation), widows and those who have lost children.

4. Born around 590 AD, this Irish monk is known for his missionary work in Northumbria, England, and founded the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne. Who is he?

From Quiz All Saints - And No Sinners

Answer: Saint Aidan

Saint Aidan was known as "The Apostle of Northumbria" and worked ceaselessly to convert the Anglo-Saxon pagans to Christianity. He is recognized as a saint by the Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church and others.

5. Which animal is said to have nursed Saint Ailbe when he was abandoned behind a rock and left to die as a baby?

From Quiz Celtic Saints

Answer: wolf

Ailbe was the illegitimate child of Olchais, the son of King Cronan, and a maidservant. Olcais ran away fearing punishment for his "indiscretion" and Cronan ordered that the baby be left to die. The baby was suckled by a she-wolf and eventually found by a man named Lochan who named him Ailbe (meaning rock). Ailbe, who was always fascinated by nature and the Creation, later became a monk and rose to the rank of Bishop. During a hunt an old she-wolf sought refuge in his cloak. He refused to allow the wolf to be killed saying "When I was feeble and friendless you protected me and now I will do the same for you". Saint Ailbe's feast day is September 12.

6. He abandoned a life of luxury to live in austerity and devote his life to Christ. Who was the founder of the Franciscan order and patron saint of animals and ecology?

From Quiz When the Saints Go Marching In

Answer: Francis of Assisi

St. Francis' Feast day is October 4. Born at Assisi, Italy, in 1182, Francis was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant. Answering the Lord's call to "serve the master rather than men" and to "rebuild my house; it is falling down", he shed his wealth (and his clothes) and left his father's home to follow Christ as a poor man. Joyful, simple, a lover of people and nature, Francis soon attracted companions who shared his love of Christ and the Gospels.

7. Which saint was the mother of the Virgin Mary, according to the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church?

From Quiz Sainted Ladies

Answer: Saint Anne

By tradition, St. Anne is identified as the mother of the Virgin Mary, who in turn was the mother of Jesus Christ. St. Anne is not explicitly named in the Gospels but rather in the Protoevangelium of James, written around A.D. 145 and not regarded as canonical. Nevertheless, by tradition the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches regard her as Mary's mother, and Anne's sister, Sobe, was the mother of Elizabeth, who was the mother of John the Baptist. St. Anne is the patron saint of single women, housewives, women in childbirth, and equestrians, as well as Brittany; Detroit, Michigan; and Quebec, Canada; not to mention the Mi'kmaq people, indigenous to Quebec but now living in Newfoundland.

8. When Saint Acacius of Mesopotamia saw seven thousand Persian prisoners of the Romans, all of whom were starving and dying from weakness, what did he do?

From Quiz Oh My Sainted Catholic Aunt!

Answer: Sold everything he had to feed and ransom them

Acacius, who was the bishop of Amida in Mesopotamia from 400 to 425, sold every single bit of gold and silver in his church and lands to buy food and liquid for the starving Persian prisoners. With the remaining funds he had left, he paid for their freedom and then, until they could be safely returned home to their own country, provided for them in the interim. When these grateful men returned to the safety of their own lands in central Persia, their ruler was so impressed by all that Acacius had done, that he ordered all persecution of Christians in his realm to cease immediately.

9. January 3: The patron saint of Paris saved the city three separate times. Who is she?

From Quiz So You Want to Be a Saint

Answer: St. Genevieve

In the year 451 Attila the Hun and his army were marching on Paris. The people were panic-stricken. Genevieve promised them God would save the city if they all prayed for his help. As the army got closer the people started to disbelieve Genevieve. With the help of the Bishop she was able to persuade them to keep praying. Their prayers were heard. Attila and his army turned away. Trouble came again in 486. King Childeric of the Franks blockaded Paris. According to legend Genevieve rowed out of the city at night, past the guards, and collected 11 boatloads of food and supplies from surrounding villages. She was able to avoid the guards and get back into the city with the food and supplies. When the siege was over, King Childeric, in admiration for her bravery, summoned her and told her he would grant her one wish. "Free your prisoners," she said. "Their only crime is that they loved their city." This he did. The third time she saved Paris happened long after she was dead. In 1129 burning fever was ravishing the city. Bishop Stephen ordered her shrine carried through the streets. Thousands of sick Parisians who saw or touched the shrine recovered and the epidemic was broken.

10. This saint holds the distinction of having been the first composer of hymns in the Church to add singing roles for female vocalists to his works. Who was he?

From Quiz Saints of Orthodox Christianity II

Answer: St. Ephraim the Syrian

St. Ephraim lived in the fourth century. He was nicknamed "God's Harp" for the beauty of his writing.

11. This saint was called "Father" not because he was a priest-- he was a monk-- but because of his kind and generous demeanor, and his warm rapport with the people to whom he preached. Who was he?

From Quiz Saints of Orthodox Christianity

Answer: St. Herman of Alaska

He is called one of the "Saints of America," due to his mission to the native people of Alaska.

12. "The more I am crucified, the more I rejoice."

From Quiz Sayings of the Saints

Answer: St. Bernadette Soubirous

St. Bernadette was the girl visited in 1858 by Our Lady of Lourdes. When she became a nun she was often misunderstood by her Superior who often complained about her and told her that she would surely go to purgatory.

13. This saint is celebrated March 19th. He is the patron saint of carpenters and fathers. A Limburg based brewery was named after him, and at least three other Belgian brewers named a beer after him. Who was this saint father?

From Quiz Drinking Saints

Answer: Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph is the foster father of Jesus. The brewery Sint Jozef is based in the Belgian province of Limburg. Other breweries that commercialise a beer named after Saint Joseph are Bios-Van Steenberghe, Fantôme and Silenrieux. Saint Eligius is celebrated December 1st and is patron saint of the blacksmiths. Saint Patrick, celebrated March 17th, is the patron saint of Ireland. Saint James the Greater is celebrated July 25th. He is most commonly depicted with shells that bear his name.

14. What does St. Peter always have in his hands or what is always associated with St. Peter?

From Quiz Saints, Their Attributes and Other Stuff

Answer: Keys

St. Peter is always depicted as the man who has the keys to Heaven.

15. Who is believed to have been Jesus' grandmother?

From Quiz Which Saint Am I?

Answer: St. Ann

16. What female saint is known as the 'little flower' and was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI?

From Quiz Roman Catholic Saints

Answer: St. Therese of Lisieux

This cloistered Carmelite nun died at the young age of 24 from tuberculosis. She is best known for her autobiography, 'The Story of a Soul.'

17. Saint Teresa of Calcutta, better remembered by many people as Mother Teresa, was canonised in 2016. Which organisation did she found that required its members to vow to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor"?

From Quiz Newly Sainted: Believers in the World

Answer: Missionaries of Charity

Mother Teresa was born in Skopje in modern day Macedonia in 1910 and died in Calcutta, the city where she dedicated herself to serving the poor, in 1997. She was beatified six years after her death and her canonisation as Saint Teresa of Calcutta was completed by Pope Francis on 4 September 2016. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, which aimed to provide support to "the poorest of the poor" - people without access to basics such as food, clothing and shelter, as well as those ostracised from society due to illnesses such as leprosy, and later, HIV/AIDS. Under Mother Teresa's leadership the organisation grew from a single hospice in Calcutta to hundreds of hospices, orphanages, schools and other charitable organisations across India and around the world. In addition to her canonisation, her work led to her being awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize in 1962 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. However, it should be noted that while she is known for her untiring efforts to support the poor, her work also generated significant criticism in terms of both the quality of the care provided and the fact that the Missionaries of Charity focused on promoting conversion to Christianity as much as on providing aid to the poor.

18. Jerome got a job translating Job for a generation of Latin devotees. What was the name of the Latin translation of the Bible that St Jerome worked on?

From Quiz Saint J

Answer: Vulgate

Jerome was born in the 4th century and educated in Rome, where he became interested in philosophy, grammar, and rhetoric. He became renowned as one of the leading Biblical scholars of his time. In 382, Pope Damasus commissioned Jerome to create a Latin translation of the Bible that could be used across the Church. At the time, various translations were being used, but the Vulgate would become an agreed standard for teaching and debate through the Middle Ages.

19. Some saints, like this woman, are known to have killed people. Which woman took it a step further by massacring an entire tribe of people to avenge her husband's death?

From Quiz The Lives of Saints: The Good, Bad and Sin

Answer: St. Olga of Kiev

St. Olga was the de facto ruler of Kievan Rus during the 10th century. Her husband Igor had been murdered by the Drevlians in an attempt to claim Kievan Rus for themselves. St. Olga, in revenge, had massacred most of the Drevlians and sold the rest to slavery. Some Drevlians were killed in brutal ways, such as being buried alive or burned at the stake. Later in life, St. Olga converted to Christianity after seeing a magnificent church and hearing the word of God for the first time. She was canonized for her efforts to spread Christianity throughout her kingdom.

20. St. Antonio Primaldo and his companion martyrs were killed on the 14th August 1480 in which city of south-east Italy, after refusing to convert to Islam?

From Quiz Newly Sainted

Answer: Otranto

St. Antonio Primaldo was the leader and spokesperson of the group of around 800 martyrs who became known as the Martyrs of Otranto following their murder in the late 15th century. The Ottoman forces of Mehmet the Conqueror invaded the city of Otranto and demanded that the people convert from Catholicism to Islam. The mass refusal to comply was led by Primaldo, a tailor, who is said to have declared that "Now it is time for us to fight to save our souls for the Lord. And since he died on the cross for us, it is fitting that we should die for him". The martyrs were all beheaded - and collectively canonised in May 2013 by Pope Francis. Unsurprisingly, the group are considered patron saints of Otranto. Their feast day is 14th August.

21. This saint (520-621 AD), who was believed to be Welsh, provided spiritual guidance in the area of the Brittany coast of France. A city and port in Brittany is named after him. Can you name the saint and city?

From Quiz All Saints - And No Sinners

Answer: Saint Malo

Although unconfirmed, it has been said that Saint Malo was baptized by, and was a disciple of, Saint Brendan and accompanied him on his voyage to convert non-believers to Christianity. He is one of the seven founding saints of Brittany.

22. "Tony, Tony, look around-something's lost that must be found". Who is the patron saint of lost or stolen articles?

From Quiz When the Saints Go Marching In

Answer: Anthony of Padua

St. Anthony's feast day is June13. St. Anthony isn't just a seeker of lost stuff - he is a seeker of lost souls; by demonstrating the love and grace of God in his life of faith, he inspired conversion in the hearts of those who came to hear him preach. Legend says that when he preached in Rimini, Italy, he grew so fed up with the hard-heartedness of its citizens that he went to the town's riverbank and preached to the fishes instead.

23. Who, according to legend, wiped the face of Jesus with a cloth, which was left with his image upon it?

From Quiz Sainted Ladies

Answer: St. Veronica

As Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha, a woman of Jerusalem named Veronica took pity on him and cleaned his face. The woman was not identified in the Four Gospels, and it is probable that her name was not Veronica, which is a corruption of "vera icon" or "true image" -- a name which became attributed to her in popular imagination, according to the "Catholic Encyclopedia". St. Veronica popularly remains the patron saint of photographers and of laundry workers, and also of photographs themselves.

24. Saint Adalbert of Prague was martyred when he tried to convert which group of people?

From Quiz Oh My Sainted Catholic Aunt!

Answer: Prussians

Adalbert (956-997) was martyred in an old Prussian town near the Baltic sea when he tried to convert the people there. Unfortunately he tried a little too earnestly and, in spite of warnings to leave their sacred oak trees alone, he insisted on cutting down as many as he could. These trees were very important to various pagan cultures of the time as they were involved in many of their rituals. Adalbert's acorn was accordingly lopped off as a result of failing to heed those warnings. He was canonised in the year 999 and his feast day is celebrated on the 23rd of April each year - hopefully nowhere near an oak tree.

25. This male saint is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He is a brother of another apostle and one of the Sons of Thunder. He is known as the Beloved Disciple. He survived all the other apostles and lived until the year 100.

From Quiz Catholic Saints

Answer: Saint John the Apostle

Saint Andrew is the first apostle called, and was a fisherman. Saint Peter is the Rock and Saint Andrew's brother. Saint Jude is the patron saint of desperate situations.

26. This saint's feast day is May 1. She funded the building of many churches and monasteries, was a successful military leader and is commemorated to this day in popular poems and songs. Name her.

From Quiz Saints of Orthodox Christianity

Answer: St. Tamara, Queen of Georgia

She ruled Georgia for 28 years (A.D. 1194-1212), and the epic poem about her, Shota Rustaveli's "The Knight in the Panther Skin," is still considered a classic.

27. "Death, but not sin."

From Quiz Sayings of the Saints

Answer: St. Dominic Savio

The great saint is definitely an example of teenage holiness. On the day of his First Communion, he chose his motto, "Death, but not sin." He tried every day to be true to his promise. He died when he was only fifteen.

28. A Limburg bishop died May 30th, 727. He is the patron saint of huntsmen and his name-day is November 3th - start of the hunting season. At least three Belgian brewers named a beer after him. Who was this rather popular saint?

From Quiz Drinking Saints

Answer: Saint Hubert

The brewers that named a beer after Saint Hubert are Brasserie du Bocq, Abbaye des Rocs and Steedje. Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animal rights, is celebrated October 4th.
