Isidore of Seville
A saint is a particularly good or holy person, whose life and actions are considered inspirational. The term is used within Christianity, with definitions varying by denomination. 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. During periods of Christianity, many people have prayed to saints as intercessors, and communities developed strong rituals around particular saints, adopting one or more as patron saints of a locale or occupation.
In Christianity, the concept arose 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 was used to describe the followers of Jesus of Nazareth. (In the Old Testament, the cognate is the Hebrew word qodesh, קדש)
