In Catholic and Orthodox doctrine, saints are believed to be able to intercede on behalf of mankind before God.
In Catholic and Orthodox doctrine, saints are believed to be able to intercede on behalf of mankind before God.
Persons recognized as saints must first be beatified (After which the deceased person is given the title 'Blessed') and then [[canonized]] by the [[Pope]]. Usually a person is canonized if at least three miracles have been performed by them through lay people asking the deceased to intercede with [[God]] on their behalf. These miracles must be thoroughly investigated by church authorities and declared valid before canonization occurs.

Many martyrs, people who died either for their faith or for another person, are recognized as saints based upon what [[Jesus]] said; the greatest commandments are to love God with your whole heart and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. Also, when he told His disciples that 'greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.'
