    Historically, Christianity originated in pagan and polytheistic times. I believe saints being associated with this or that specific topic is to give familiarity to new converts from polytheistic faiths. Basically, there’s only one god, but this saintly specialist will put in a good word for you to him on this topic they’re a specialist on.
