Roman Catholic Saints H-L Names
Index - Canonization
Saint is a term used in
Christian religions used to describe a person who is
perceived of being an example of great holiness and virtue
and considered capable of interceding with God on behalf of
a person who prayed to them. A person who has died and has
been declared a saint by canonization. Only the Roman
Catholic Church has an official process for creating saints.
There are two main categories of Roman Catholic saints:
martyrs and confessors. A Christian martyr is regarded as
one who is put to death for his Christian faith or
convictions. Confessors are Roman Catholic Saints who died
natural deaths.

Index - Feast Days
There are Roman Catholic Saints
for practically every day of the year and these are referred
to as the Feast Days. What is the origin and meaning of the
Roman Catholic Saint's Feast Days? Most saints have specially designated feast days
which are associated with a specific day of the year and
these are referred to as the saint's feast day which is
detailed in the Roman Catholic Saints H-L Index. The Roman Catholic
Saint's feast days first arose from the very early Christian
custom of the annual commemoration of martyrs on the dates
of their deaths, at the same time celebrating their birth
into heaven. Eventually, as time passed, practically every
day of the year had at least one saint who was commemorated
on that date - a Roman Catholic Saint of the day.
