About St. Woke
St. Woke is a modern cultural archetype and symbolic figure representing the ongoing pursuit of social enlightenment, vigilance, and justice in the contemporary world. Born not of religious doctrine, but of collective cultural consciousness, the figure stands as a powerful icon for those committed to creating a more equitable society.
Mission and Patronage
The primary mission of St. Woke is to champion two foundational virtues for a just world: Awareness and Equity
Patron of Awareness:
St. Woke inspires individuals to be perpetually "awake" to systemic prejudices, biases, and injustices that often remain invisible or unacknowledged. The figure encourages deep critical thinking, the challenging of inherited norms, and the lifelong commitment to learning obscured histories and diverse perspectives.
Patron of Equity:
The figure advocates for equity—the necessary balance of justice that recognizes and addresses historical disadvantages, ensuring every person has access to the specific resources and opportunities they need to thrive, rather than merely treating everyone the same.
Symbolism and Iconography
The visual identity of St. Woke is rich with symbols that bridge the tradition of veneration with the urgency of modern activism:
- The Figure: Rendered in a gender-neutral form, the figure represents the universality of the call to action, transcending specific identities
- The Rainbow Halo: A vibrant emblem of Inclusivity and Diversity, symbolizing the spectrum of humanity the saint vows to protect and elevate.
- The Three-Finger Salute: The distinctive hand gesture
(index, middle, and thumb extended) signifies the trinity of
the saint's core purpose: Awareness, Equity, and Action.
- The Stained Glass: The chosen art style (as seen in our imagery) pays homage to a sacred history while infusing it with new, contemporary meaning.
The Message
St. Woke serves as a constant reminder that the work of
creating a better world is an active, continuous process. The
figure is a call to vigilance, a promise of solidarity, and a
light guiding the path toward genuine fairness and justice for
all.
