All saints exhibited some form of heroic virtue to be recognized as saints.

There are some Victorian era saints but not all saints are Victorian.
Orthodoxy was introduced to non-Christian Russia by two Greek missionaries, Saints Cyrill and Methodius. They also introduced writing to Russia hence the Russian use of the "Cyrillic Alphabet" which in some instances resembles the Greek.
books and stories of saints study guides to help understand the bible. . .
There are many songs about saints but my favorite is For All the Saints which was written by William How.
Yes. They are the same saints that are honored by the Universal Church. Some towns may honor some saints locally that are not recognized universally.
There's one that I know of: he was the guy who introduced the theory of evolution by natural selection.
all saints I've known are good. that's why they're saints.
Some saints die young, some die old, some die in middle age.
Some do, but not all. Depends on where they are and when they were built. Some have the bones of Saints and the bodies of various Saints and priests . In Europe I have seen alters with little windows in them and as you look at them you notice a gold netting and within that are the bones of a Saint or priest. In many cathedrals there are bodies buried in the floors and walls. Some are families of people who were important in the area, there are kings and queens, and important members of the church.
Some are named after saints, mostly the apostles.
