Saint
According to the Bible, a saint is one who is sanctified (cf. 2 Chron. 6:41). The early Christians were all called saints. (Heb. 13:24; Jud. 1:3; Phile. 1:5, 7) Over time, the traditional usage of the term saint came to refer to a person who is recognized as having attained a certain level of
holiness. It is used within
Christianity, with definitions varying by
denomination, but English-language publications will sometimes use saint to describe a revered person from another religion. The word itself means “holy” and is derived from the Latin sanctus. The concept originates in early Greek Christian literature with the use of the word hagios (
Greek άγιος meaning “holy” or “holy one”) and in the
New Testament, where it is used to describe the followers of
Jesus of Nazareth. The use of saint in popular culture denotes a simple feeling of thanks and respect for their efforts.

Saint
Santo
Alcune
religioni utilizzano "santo" come principale appellativo di una
divinità, che ne qualifica e dichiara la
natura divina. Quando tale natura divina si estende o trasmette a persone o cose, queste ricevono il medesimo appellativo.Questo appellativo viene anche dato a una
persona umana in presenza di qualità particolari, che possono essere puramente
morali o morali e fisiche. Il santo, sia uomo,
donna o
bambino, è un individuo illuminato dall'
intelligenza di
Dio. In quanto tale agisce in sintonia con la volontà e l'intelligenza divina, nel superare i limiti e le debolezze umane e porsi come modello da imitare per avvicinarsi a Dio.
