Glorification
Glorification may have several meanings in Christianity. The Nicene Creed states that God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are glorified. From the Catholic canonization to the similar sainthood of the Eastern Orthodox Church to salvation in Christianity in Protestant beliefs, the glorification of the human condition can be a long and arduous process.

Decanonization or de-canonization (prefix de- ← preposition: down, from, away + ← – list, catalog) is the exclusion of a person's name from a list or catalog of saints; it is the opposite of canonization. Decanonization, the exclusion of a saint's name from the church calendar, was carried out in the Russian Orthodox Church, in the Catholic Church and in the Anglican Church.
