How to use "Saint" in context?
We all know someone who is a saint; someone who is admired and revered for their good deeds. But what do we actually mean when we say someone is a saint? Merriam-Webster defines a saint as "a person recognized by the church or by common consent as having outstanding holiness or Christian virtue." According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, what contributes to a person being called a saint is not only their good deeds but also their martyrdom, vision, or teaching. As a result, saints often have very dedicated followers.
