Canonization documents

Canonization documents are official records and processes used by the Catholic Church to declare someone a saint. This involves collecting evidence of the person's virtuous life and any miracles attributed to them after death. The process includes thorough investigation, testimonies, and approval from church authorities. Once all criteria are met, the Pope officially recognizes the individual as a saint, allowing them to be venerated by the faithful. This formal recognition highlights the person's exemplary faith and serves as an inspiration for others within the Church.
