John of God was born in Portugal and spent his youth as a shepherd, a soldier and a seller of religious books, until the preaching of John of Avila at Granada moved him to give away all he had and go through the streets calling on God for mercy, so that people took him for a madman. He rented a house in Granada for the sick and poor, searched the city for them and carried on his shoulders those who could not walk, and the companions who joined him became the Brothers Hospitallers. He died at Granada in 1550 after trying to save a young man from drowning, and Leo XIII made him patron of hospitals and the dying.

瞻礼日、两个历法与主保圣人
圣人的瞻礼日是教会每年在敬礼中纪念该圣人的日子，对于大多数圣人而言，这一天是他们的忌日。这些日子是基督教历法中最古老的纪念日：继复活节、五旬节，以及四世纪出现的圣诞节和主显节之后，教会最早守的瞻礼便是宗徒和殉道者的纪念日。
在查找器中，许多圣人有两个日期，这是因为西方教会和正教会历经数世纪分别建立了各自的历法。有时他们会在不同的日子纪念同一位圣人：西方教会于10月28日纪念圣犹达与圣西满，而正教会则在6月19日纪念圣犹达。一些正教会（如俄罗斯正教会）至今仍沿用旧儒略历，该历法目前比我们通用的公历晚十三天，因此他们的12月6日对应我们的12月19日。若出现这种情况，查找器会同时提供两个日期。
主保圣人是教会为特定地点、工作或需求而祈求其代祷的圣人，正如旧版《天主教百科全书》所言，是“在天主前的特别代祷者和合适的辩护人”。有些主保身份是由教宗宣布的，例如庇护九世于1870年宣布圣若瑟为普世教会主保；而大多数主保身份源于悠久的传统，如圣安多尼与失物寻找。
我们根据人们搜索最多的名字、需求和日期选择了这两百位圣人，并增补了正教基督徒所尊崇的圣人和宗徒。条目中的每一项事实均来自我们核实过的来源，并在条目下方注明：包括《天主教百科全书》、美国正教会的圣人传记、梵蒂冈新闻网以及圣座的官方文件。若某位圣人的事迹主要源于传说，条目中会予以说明。
