A saint is someone who is considered to have led such a holy life that they go to heaven after they die. Saints exist in a few different branches of the Christian religion. In Roman Catholicism, to be recognized as a saint, you have to have lived a holy life, to have died and to have performed at least two miracles after death by intercession. This is considered to be proof that you were recognized by God as a saint. Of course, the church understands that many people will have gone to heaven and become saints without having performed any miracles. These will not be recognized as saints by the church and people should not pray to them.
