A "szentek" (saints) refers to individuals recognized for their holiness and virtue in various religious traditions, particularly in Christianity. They are often seen as role models for the faithful, having lived lives of exemplary moral character and devotion to God. Saints may be canonized by religious authorities, which formally acknowledges their sanctity and allows for public veneration. In many cultures, saints are associated with specific attributes, miracles, or patronages, such as Saint Francis of Assisi, who is known for his love of animals and nature. People often pray to saints for intercession, believing that these holy figures can advocate on their behalf in heaven.
