The process of canonization has to be one of the most esteemed honors one can receive from the Catholic church. While the person who is canonized can not be with the people he or she loves to enjoy the honors, that person has to feel very honored in Heaven. Canonization is the process of someone who is dead becoming a Saint.
Now what does saint even mean? The literal definition described by the Christian Church is one "in Christ" and in whom Christ dwells. This is the perfect way to tell what the saint is all about. A saint is someone who is willing to die for their faith like the first martyr, St. Stephen. A saint is someone who has constantly helped the ones that are less fortunate or in dier need of help like St. Vincent DePaul. These examples are just a few of the many saints who modeled their lives after Christ.
