When was St. Hilary canonization?

Answer 1

Saint Hope was scourged, thrown into a fire, and then beheaded. She died as a martyr. She would have been proclaimed a saint by popular acclamation since all martyrs were considered saints. There was no official canonization process in place at the time. That did not start until about the 12th century.

Answer 2

St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, 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 he rbest 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 emmulation. 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.
