Eg, Saint George (6,5)

I believe the answer is:

patron saint

(Other definitions for patron saint that I've seen before include "National representative" , "Patrick for Ireland, for example" , "Protector in heaven" , "Holy guardian of country, trade etc" , "Virgin Mary in France possibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
