What does "canonization" mean?

  • Naming of a saint

  • Becoming a king

  • Crowning of a queen

Answer

Canonization is the process by which the Catholic Church declares that a person is a saint. The process is long and complex, and it involves examining the person's life and works to see if they meet the criteria for sainthood. If the person is found to be worthy, they are canonized by the Pope.
