Hi all!

Does anyone know how saints became associated with certain titles? For example, St. Jude, Saint of the Impossible - St. Anthony, the miracle worker..I could go on and on with the list of saints, but I think you understand what I am asking.

There are so many saints, thank God, and I've read the lives of some, not all...but still don't understand why St. Anthony is associated with finding things (and he does!!!!). He never fails me. :)

If there is a book I can read that can give me the information I am looking for, please recommend it. It is not mandatory, I'm just curious.

Thanks, MaryLu
