The Feast of "All Saints," celebrated November 1st, includes all of the faithful who lived a "saintly" life, but because they are unknown have not been canonized.

There were three early Christian saints and martyrs named Lucy: Lucy of Syracuse, Lucy of Rome, and Lucy of Campania. They are all commemorated for their devotion to the Christian faith and their martyrdom.
To be canonized in the Catholic Church you should be a Catholic. There are other religions that also have saints - Orthodox, Anglican, Islam, Hindus, etc. Also, a number of saints in the Catholic Church were never Catholics - Saint Joseph, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Anne, Saint Joachim, etc.

Views on hypnotherapy vary widely across religions, and often depend on how hypnosis is explained and practiced. Christianity: Opinions differ. Some Christians see hypnotherapy as a neutral psychological technique similar to guided relaxation or counseling, while others are cautious if it appears to involve loss of free will, altered spiritual states, or practices they associate with the occult. Acceptance is usually higher when it’s framed as a therapeutic method focused on mental health and personal responsibility. Islam: Many Islamic scholars consider hypnotherapy permissible if it is used for healing or self-improvement, does not involve deception, superstition, or invocation of spirits, and respects the individual’s consent and control. Practices linked to magic or mind control are generally rejected. Judaism: Hypnotherapy is often viewed pragmatically. If it’s used as a psychological or medical tool for healing and does not conflict with Jewish law, many see it as acceptable, especially when practiced by trained professionals. Hinduism and Buddhism: These traditions are generally more open to altered states of consciousness. Hypnotherapy is often seen as compatible with meditation, mindfulness, or introspective practices, provided it’s used ethically and for wellbeing rather than manipulation. Overall, most religious concerns focus on intent, method, and ethics—whether hypnotherapy respects free will, avoids spiritual manipulation, and is used for genuine therapeutic purposes rather than mystical or coercive practices.
While many (but not all) Christian organizations recognize that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worship Jesus Christ and strive to emulate his life, most do not recognize Mormons as a Christian religion because they do not adhere to the traditional Christian Creeds which define the Holy Trinity. Most Christian groups consider it blasphemous that Mormons believe that God the Father and Jesus Christ are two seperate beings and therefore do not want to categorize them as Christian.
In most Christian religions, canonization (the process of recognizing someone as a saint) only takes place after that person is dead.
