The list of the so-called "14 emergency helpers" is not uniform everywhere, as regional peculiarities are sometimes taken into account. As a rule, the following patron saints are named (the text is from a notice board from Memmingen, which was created in the Baroque period, the original spelling - which is partly foreign to us - has been retained): St. Blasius - intercedes for sore throats St. George - should be called upon in times of war St. Erasmus - for intestinal and abdominal pain St. Vitus - a great friend of children's hearts St. Pantaleon - patron of doctors, powerful with God St. Christopher - he protects powerfully against hail and bad weather St. Dionysus - is called upon in times of major pain St. Cyriacus - can help those possessed by the devil St. Achatius - he helps Christian soldiers quickly St. Eustachius - averts sorrow in marriage St. Aegidius - helps to recognize secret sins St. Margaretha - where the devil's cunning finds access St. Catherine - when wisdom is found in studying lacks St. Barbara - received the sacrament in death
