Saint

In Christianity, a saint is a person recognized for exceptional holiness and closeness to God. The term's use varies by denomination. Anglicans, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutherans consider all deceased faithful in Heaven as saints, with some meriting greater honor. The Catholic Church canonizes saints, while the Eastern Orthodox Church glorifies them after approval. In many Protestant denominations, "saint" refers to any holy Christian, without requiring special recognition.
