Saints are individuals recognized for their exceptional holiness and virtue, often in the context of various religious traditions. In Christianity, saints are typically people who have led lives of great moral integrity and have been canonized, meaning they are officially recognized by the Church. They are often seen as intercessors who can pray on behalf of others. In addition to Christianity, many other religions have their own concepts of saints or holy figures. For example, in Islam, prophets like Muhammad are revered, while in Hinduism, figures such as Gurus and Avatars hold similar significance. Saints often inspire followers through their teachings and examples.
