The list of the so-called “14 helpers in need” is not uniform everywhere, as regional peculiarities are sometimes taken into account. As a rule, the following patron saints are mentioned (the text is from a tablet from Memmingen, which dates back to the Baroque period; the original spelling – partially unknown to us – has been retained): St. Blaise - offers intercession for sore throats St. George - is to be invoked in times of war St. Erasmus - for intestinal and abdominal pain St. Vitus - a great friend of children's hearts St. Pantaleon - patron saint of physicians, powerful before God St. Christopher - he provides powerful protection against hail and bad weather St. Dionysus - is invoked in times of major pain St. Cyriacus - can help those possessed by the devil St. Achatius - he nimbly helps Christian soldiers St. Eustace - averts sorrow in marriage St. Giles - helps in the recognition of secret sins St. Margaret - where the devil's cunning finds access St. Catherine - when wisdom is needed lacking in studies St. Barbara - received the sacrament in death
