It is called the Communion of Saints.  And those that believe do not die, they live forever with Christ (remember The Gospel of St. John 3:16?)\n\nWe pray to a Saint (someone who has lived a Holy life for God) and ask them to pray for us and with us to Jesus for His intervention.\n\nPsalm 103, we pray, "Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!" (Ps. 103:20-21). And in Psalm 148 we pray, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host!" (Ps. 148:1-2)\n\nNot only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In Revelation, John sees that "the twenty-four elders [the leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints" (Rev. 5:8). Thus the saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth.\n\nLook at it this way?  Have you ever asked someone to pray for you?  It is the same thing, except we know that the Saints in Heaven are with God and see him.  Thus the prayers of the Saints are magnified when combined with our own.\n\nIt is also worth noting that a Saint has no power to do anything on his/her own.  Anything that happens because of the intervention of a Saint is done through the will and Power of God.

Saint Patrick (386–March 17, 493 AD) was a missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of Ireland (along with Saint Brigid and Saint Columba). He is also the patron saint of excluded people, engineers, and Nigeria, which was evangelized primarily by Irish missionaries, especially priests from Saint Patrick's Missionary Society (also known as the Kiltegan Missionaries).\n\nHe was born somewhere along the west coast of Britain in the little settlement or village of Bannavem of Taburnia (vico banavem taburniae in his Confessio), which has never been identified with certainty. Sites suggested include Dumbarton, Furness and Somerset, or the coastline of Wales or northern France; another possibility put forward for his birthplace is the settlement of Bannaventa in Northamptonshire, for raiders captured him with "many thousands of people" according to Patrick's autobiographical Confessio, and sold them as slaves in Ireland. The tiny Welsh village of Banwen has often been suggested as his birth place. It was clearly occupied in Roman times, sitting on the Neath-Brecon Roman road and next to the two Roman forts in Coelbren. His given name was Maewyn Succat.

Yes, they are all saints. I do know that Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine were virgins and martyrs. They have that in common. Saint Margaret and Saint Cahterine are ranked as one of the fourteen most helpful saints in heaven. I would assume that Saint Michael is there also. So, I think that may be your answer?

In the recent past I have come across only John Paul II. He was pious and he was having the qualities of a saint! Jesus Christ and Christianity have to bless him with Sainthood, for which he deserves!!

Saint Jacob (aka St. James). Iago is a Latin form of Jacob. It makes more sense if you think of the original Hebrew form, Yaakov, which sounds more like Iago. James is another Anglicized version of Yaakov, but Jacob is closer.

I'm thinking the guy you're looking for is St. Simeon Stylites.  \n\nThat is, I know there's a saint depicted in traditional imagery as being in a barrel on a post, and I think this is the same guy.\nAnother possibility would be Diogenes.  \nHope it fits.
