Patronage
2 saints are venerated as patrons of notaries, led by Mark the Evangelist (feast day April 25).
12 — 68 · Feast day: April 25
Author of the earliest Gospel, Mark worked as Peter's interpreter in Rome, shaping Peter's eyewitness preaching into the swift, action-driven narrative that Matthew and Luke would later expand. He founded the Church in Alexandria and became its first bishop before being martyred there around AD 68, dragged through the streets during a pagan festival.
10 — 84 · Feast day: October 18
The 'Beloved Physician' and companion of St. Paul, Luke authored both the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles — together about a quarter of the New Testament. His Gospel stands out for its literary polish and its sustained attention to Christ's mercy toward the poor, the outcast, and women. He is symbolized by the winged ox, representing the priestly and sacrificial character of his Gospel's opening scene.
