There are more than 1000 saints in the Christian churches. Not all of these are shown on arms. The list below is an attempt to list the saints used in heraldry as well as their symbols. The table below shows two images for each saint. In most cases there are more images and variations available, in those cases the name is clickable and a new page opens with more information.

This list will gradually be expanded. See also the What is new page to see if updates have been made.
