A question I have ever so conveniently been pondering of late, is who is the coolest saint? Now, the contest is not won by the saint that did the most during their life-time (otherwise the award would have to go to St. George). But rather, it is given based on what that person is the patron saint of.
Luckily, the Russian Orthodox church has answered this query for me. They have now recognized the most BAD-ASS saint EVER!
"MOSCOW (AFP) - Historic Russian admiral Fyodor Ushakov -- a hero of Russia's wars against Turkey and Napoleon Bonaparte -- was designated the patron saint of nuclear-armed, long-distance Russian bombers by the Orthodox Church."
Yep. The patron saint of nuclear armed long distance Russian bombers. Now THAT'S a saint!
