Christian saints

Christian saints are individuals recognized for their exceptional holiness, virtue, and devotion to God, often after their death. Many were early Christians who lived lives of exemplary faith, and their stories serve as inspirations for believers. Saints can be canonized, or formally recognized, by the Church, particularly in Catholicism, indicating they are in Heaven and can intercede for the faithful. They are often associated with specific qualities, causes, or professions, and many have feast days to commemorate their lives. Saints play a significant role in Christian tradition, providing models of faith and moral living.
