Saint Spiridon is the patron saint of Corfu Greece , and Corfiots honour him with great religious sentiment. ‘The Saint’, as he is known, is present in many ways in their daily life and many celebrations are devoted to him. For the inhabitants of Corfu, these are ways of showing gratitude and adoration, for it is believed that he has saved Corfu from disaster many times during its long history. Saint Spiridon was born in Tremithous in Cyprus in 270 AD. The son of a poor family, he had no education and earned his living as a shepherd. After the death of his beloved wife, he dedicated himself to the church and eventually rose to become the Bishop of Tremithous.
