__NOTOC__==Synopsis== In the BibleOH MY GOD, 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 Christians. In [[Roman Catholicism]] 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]]. ==Contents== {{saints_box}} {{also}} [[Saint (EBD)|Easton's Bible Dictionary entry on Saint]] {{topics}}* [[Roman Catholicism: Saint]] | [[Canonization]]* [[Eastern Orthodoxy: Saint]]* [[Saints Index]] {{opinions}} {{quotes}} ==Main article== 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]].
