Saint

A saint is a holy person.^[1] In many religions, saints are people who are believed to be sacred.

In Christianity, the word "saint" refers to any person who is "in Christ", and in whom Christ dwells, whether in Heaven or in earth.^[1] Orthodox Christians and Catholics teach that all Christians in Heaven are saints, but some are worthy of more honor than others.^[2][3]

In the Christian Bible, not only one person is actually called a saint: "They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD." (Psalms 106:16–18) The apostle Paul called himself "less than the least of all saints" in Ephesians 3:8. Paul's 2nd letter to the Corinthian Church speaks of ...all the saints in Achaia 2 cor 1:1. Also to the saints in Ephesus as well as to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi
