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.

Some achievements of St. James the Greater include being one of Jesus' original twelve apostles, witness to the Transfiguration and the Garden of Gethsemane, and becoming the patron saint of Spain due to his missionary work there. He was also the first apostle to be martyred for his faith.

∙ 13y agoIt is believed that James may have been a cousin of Jesus and probably was originally a disciple of John the Baptist. He is called "the Greater" simply because he became an Apostle before Saint James the Lesser. He preached the Gospel in Samaria, Judea, and Spain and was the first apostle to be martyred. He was stabbed with a sword by King Herod Agrippa I in 44 AD at Jerusalem
