Sainthood is the state of being recognized as a saint by a religious body, usually the Catholic Church. Achieving sainthood is a complex process that requires a person to have lived a life of heroic virtue, to have performed miracles, and to have died a martyr’s death.
The benefits of sainthood include the ability to intercede with God on behalf of others, to inspire people to live holy lives, and to provide a model of faith and holiness for the faithful. Sainthood can also lead to a person being venerated as a saint, with people praying to them for intercession and guidance.
