In Spain, the Danish saint and king, Knud the Holy, is the saint for parking spaces.
His help can be invoked with a little prayer "San Canuto, San Canuto, que encuentre sitio en un minuto", which can be translated to "Sankt Knud, Sankt Knud, get me a parking space in a minute."
However, students celebrate him as the patron saint of cannabis smoking, the reason for the last "saint area" is that his name in Spanish, "Canuto", is a slang term for joint.
