St. Bernard of Clairvaux was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church due to his significant contributions to Christianity, particularly in the Cistercian monastic reform and his influential role in the spread of the Second Crusade. His deep spirituality, theological writings, and dedication to the faith earned him widespread respect and veneration. He was officially recognized as a saint by Pope Alexander III in 1174, largely due to the miracles attributed to him after his death and his enduring impact on the Church. His feast day is celebrated on August 20.
