Whenever Our Lord was passing through the town of Bethany where Martha lived with her sister Mary and brother Lazarus, Martha acted as his perfect hostess. Read more about Martha in the link below.
Miracles were not required for declaring a person a saint in the early
years of Chrisitianity. The person would have been declared a saint by
popular acclamation to a bishop based on the lives and merits of the
candidate. This was especially true if the person died the death of a
martyr as it was felt that making this ultimate sacrifice for Our Lord
would be an automatic designation of that person as a saint.
Even today, miracles are not always a requirement for canonization,
especially in the case of martyrs.
Martha is not noted as being a miracle worker. She is better known as being one of Our Lord's first disciples, a close friend of his and a gracious host to him whenever he visited her home in Bethany.
she didnt preform any miracles she was a close friend to Jesus
Martha was a close friend and disciple of Our Lord. She sometimes hosted him and his apostles at her home in Bethany. She eventually died a natural death and was not a martyr. She was never officially canonized as a saint as she was precongregational - before a formal proceedure for canonization existed.
St. Martha was declared a saint before the official canonization
process was instituted in the 12th century. She would have been declared a
saint to the bishop by those who knew her best and were familiar with his
life and merits. The local bishop would them make the decision. Today
only the pope can declare saints after years of study by the Sacred
Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican. The church does not
create saints. Only God can do that. The Church "screens" candidates for
sainthood to determine if they had a life worthy of emulating. In other
words, do they make good role models. Also, the Church has to be assured
that the person is actually in Heaven. That is the reason that today a
number of miracles must be verified before a person can be declared a
saint.
