A '''saint''' is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to [[Yahweh|God]]. However, the use of the term saint depends on the context and denomination. In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation.
