Christian Saints
The title of saint (Latin sanctus) was initially given to the Apostles, Evangelists and early Christian martyrs and confessors shortly after Christ's death. In Catholicism, the papacy has claimed exclusive canonization authority since the 12th century. The process involves a minimum five-year waiting period after death, followed by research into virtuous living (conferring the title Venerable), evidence of a miracle (Beatification as Blessed), and a posthumous miracle (Canonization as Saint). Orthodox churches follow their own processes called glorification or canonization.
