Are all saints virgins

Answer 1

I'm Presbyterian. We (and I believe most protestants) believe that all Christians are saints. Check out Paul's letters. He uses the term "saint" over and over again to address the early Christians, while not once calling them Christians! So to answer your question, no not all saints are martyrs.

I'm not terribly familiar with the canonized saints of the Catholic faith, but I can think of several of them who weren't martyred. Notably Mary and Joseph.

I am Catholic, so I will share what my theology has taught me. Some saints, such as Saint Lucy or Perpetua and Felicity are martyrs because they were killed because of their faith. Not all saints are martyrs, however. The requirements to be a saint is that 2 miracles must be attributed to your interceding to either heal or create a divine sign. So it is possible to be a saint and not be a martyr.

The title of saint is typically bestowed upon individuals who have exemplified extraordinary holiness and virtue in their lives, regardless of their marital status.

No. The Church has even forgiven saints who are believed to have been far from virgins.

Answer 4

Patronages are assigned by the Vatican, usually as the result of a petition requesting the action for a particular saint. Not all saints are patron saints.
