In the Bible, the word saint comes from the Greek word hagion, which means one who has been set apart or made holy by faith in Christ. In this context the word "saint" is not a description of a special class of Christian or a reference to one who is deemed especially holy, but is a simple reference to all Christians. In Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy the term saint takes on a much more specific meaning, and refers Catholics who have died who were especially holy and performed miracles and have been formally canonized.
