Why is Matthew the only gospel that mentions saints rising from the dead?

Jesus: The Evidence) says that, because the Matthew gospel alone tells the story of the violent earthquake, the saints rising from the dead and the ‘angel of the Lord’ rolling away the entrance stone, it is probably safest to regard these as pious embroideries by an author demonstrably over-fond of the miraculous.

What does the gospel mean when it says tombs were opened and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised?
Matthew 27:52-53: "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."The author of Matthew copied from Mark the miraculous story of the Temple veil being torn from top to bottom, but was apparently not satisfied with this. He added the story of earthquake opening the graves and of the dead rising up and walking into Jerusalem and being seen by many. The authors of Lukeand John, writing somewhat later, know nothing of this story, nor had the author of Mark. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) describes Matthew as an author demonstrably over-fond of the miraculous.

Why did the four gospel writers become saints?
We do not know who the real authors of the four New Testament gospels were, since the gospels were all written anonymously, meaning that these authors are not canonised saints. However, once the decision was made that the four gospels were probably written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, it was natural that the early Christians would want to honour these men as saints. In the earliest days of Christianity, this was effectively by acclamation, but in later centuries saints could only be canonised by a bishop and even later, in western Europe, by the pope.
