Hagiography is the study of
saints. A hagiography refers literally to writings on the subject of such
holy persons, and specifically the
biographies of
ecclesiastical and
secular leaders. Though many hagiographies focus on the lives of men and women
canonized by the
Christian Church, other religions such as
Buddhism and
Islam also create and maintain hagiographical texts concerning saints and other individuals believed to be imbued with the sacred. The related term hagiology refers to the study of saints collectively, without focusing on the life of an individual saint.
