Wulfhilda (also known as Wulfhild and Wulfreda among several other names) was an Anglo-Saxon abbess and a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
A patron saint, patroness saint, patron hallow or heavenly protector is a saint who in Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism or Eastern Orthodoxy, is regarded as the heavenly advocate of a nation, place, craft, activity, class, clan, family or person.

Isn't St. Isadore considered informally to be the patron saint of the Internet?
Christianity has too many Gods.

Often cited to be the patron saint of the internet and computers, Saint Isidore of Seville was renowned for his accomplishments in culture and learning. Isidore of Seville was born in sixth century Spain into a family of saints, including his brothers Fulgentius and Leander and sister Florentina. Educated by his elder brother Leander, whom he later went on to succeed as the Bishop of Seville, he was an incredibly learned man.
In 1997 Pope John Paul II declared Isidore of Seville the patron saint of the internet. Saint Isidore died in the year 636, long before the first host-to-host ARPANET connection in 1969. But Isidore did try to record everything ever known in an encyclopedia that was ultimately published after his death.

The St. Bernard or St Bernard (UK: /ˈbɜːnəd/, US: /bərˈnɑːrd/) is a breed of very large working dog from the western Alps in Italy and Switzerland.[3] They were originally bred for rescue by the hospice of the Great St Bernard Pass on the Italian-Swiss border.[4][5] The hospice, built by and named after Italian monk Bernard of Menthon, acquired its first dogs between 1660 and 1670.[4] The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its enormous size.
Answer: Because you’re hypothermic and hallucinating. It’s only an interesting historical myth that St. Bernards carry brandy. It’s unfortunate, but you are probably going to die.
Even if the brandy were real, you wouldn’t want to drink the spirit because according to modern medicine (and even MythBusters, who took on this very fallacy), the alcohol would cause you to freeze even faster. Though booze dilates the blood vessels in your skin, making you feel warmer, it saps that blood from your core, where your organs need it to keep you alive.
A Saint is not a God.
You should know that.
there not gods
