Canonization

Canonization is the act by which the Orthodox, Oriental Orthodoxy, Roman Catholic, or Anglican Church declares that a person who has died was a saint, upon which declaration the person is included in the canon, or list, of recognized saints. Originally, people were recognized as saints without any formal process. Later, different processes, such as those used today in the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches, were developed.

Historical development of the process

The first people honored as saints were the martyrs. Pious legends of their deaths were considered to affirm the truth of their faith in Christ.

The Roman Rite's Canon of the Mass contains the names only of martyrs, along with that of the Virgin Mary and, since 1962, that of Saint Joseph.

By the fourth century, however, "confessors"—people who had confessed their faith not by dying but by word and life—began to be venerated publicly. Examples of such people are Saint Hilarion and Saint Ephrem the Syrian in the East, and Saint Martin of Tours and Saint Hilary of Poitiers in the West. Their names were inserted in the diptychs, the lists of saints explicitly venerated in the liturgy, and their tombs were honoured in like manner as those of the martyrs. Since the witness of their lives was not as unequivocal as that of the martyrs, they were venerated publicly only with the approval by the local bishop. This process is often referred to as "local canonization".

    quien soy yo

    by: Chayanne

    Una maleta pequeña
    Un casi amaneciendo el día
    Traveler checks y hay una fotografía
    Sueños en cámara lenta
    Pedazos de monotonía
    Un rompecabezas,
    qué pasará con mi vida?
    Mañana sólo Dios dirá
    Voy apostar mi juventud
    Voy estrenar mi libertad
    No queda tiempo para más
    Puedo perder el autobus
    Y va empezar la cuenta atrás
    Quién soy yo?
    Un poco de miedo, una duda
    Un deseo, un amor
    No puedo contestar
    Quién soy yo?
    Le pregunté al espejo y sonrió
    Y al rato descubrió Quién soy yo?
    Luna de agosto atrevida
    Me sigues como un detective
    Que es lo que buscas?
    Deja que el viento me cuide
    Quiero subir hasta el cielo
    Sin alas, sin paracaídas
    Tiempo de vuelo
    Toda mi vida
    Mañana sólo Dios dirá
    Voy apostar mi juventud
    Y a empezar la cuenta atrás
    Quién soy yo?
    Un poco de miedo, una duda
    Un deseo, un amor
    Quién soy yo?
    No puedo contestar
    Quién soy yo?
    Le pregunté al espejo y sonrió
    Y al rato descubrió Quién soy yo?
    Quién soy yo?
    Un poco de miedo, una duda
    Un deseo, un amor
    No puedo contestar
