A saint is a holy man or woman respected
for his or her wisdom, spirituality, and
dedication to their faith. Within the Roman
Catholic church a saint is officially
recognized through canonization by the pope.
Many saints are associated with miracles and
canonization usually occurs after a thorough
investigation of the lives and miracles
attributed to them. In the Orthodox church
saints are recognized by the patriarch and
Holy Synod after recommendation by local
churches.
