Saintly Game

Welcome to our All Saints' Day game. Can you name the following saints??? Good luck!
When this saint was alive, the church was under prosecution. He was one of the first deacons and served Pope Sixtus. He was martyred by being roasted over a fire. He is the patron saint of comedians.
This saint was elected pope near the year 600. He was a great and holy man. He is considered a Doctor of the Church and also has a type of church music named after him. (PS He is missing his hat because this mommy cannot make such an elaborate crown.)
Everyone knows this saint because he is famous from here to there and everywhere. There are legends about him banishing snakes and starting a fire that could not be put out. He is most known for helping establish the Catholic Church in Ireland.
This saint was a great man who gave away all his money and worldly goods to the poor. He was always helping a soul in need. He later became a bishop. His feast day is in December.
This little saint is a hard worker, but always takes time to attend Mass. Angels are often seen helping him with his work in the fields. He is the patron saint of farmers and one of our family's favorite saints.
HAVE YOU MADE YOUR GUESSES???????

May I introduce............
St. Lawrence, Pope St. Gregory the Great, St. Patrick, St. Nicholas and St. Isidore the Farmer
