AI overview

In Christian belief, a saint is a person recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness or closeness to God, and the term's meaning varies depending on the religious denomination and context. Saints matter because they are officially recognized and venerated through formal processes like canonization in the Catholic Church, and they are often depicted in Christian art with distinctive symbols like halos or palm branches.
