Saint

Charles Buck Theological Dictionary

A person eminent for godliness. The word is generally applied by us to the apostles and other holy persons mentioned in the Scriptures: but the Romanists make its application much more extensive; as, according to them, all who are cannonized are made saints of a high degree.

See CANONIZATION.
