Canonization of John of Nepomuk

The canonization of John of Nepomuk was a formal process by the Catholic Church to recognize him as a saint. It involved thoroughly investigating his life, deeds, and virtues, and confirming that he lived a holy life and died for his faith. John of Nepomuk, a Czech priest, was venerated for his integrity and martyrdom, particularly his refusal to reveal the confessional secrets of a queen. His canonization in 1729 elevated him to sainthood, honoring his spiritual exemplary qualities and recognizing him as a protector against perjury and a symbol of faith and honesty.
