the following history
In Colossians (4:14), St. Paul refers
to St. Luke as “the beloved physician,” and thus he is the patron of
doctors. Luke is one of the patrons of writers because he wrote both the
Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, two of the most important
texts in the last two thousand years. Luke is the patron of artists
because a legend states that he painted several portraits of the Virgin
Mary. He is often depicted, as here, painting, drawing, or writing.
