Over the past 2,000 years, thousands of people have been canonized. But what does it take to become a saint? This chapter will explore the questions related to everyday sanctity — small steps toward holiness that anyone can take — as well as the larger issues involved in the canonization of those who have been (or will be) sainted. The process of canonization, particularly within the Roman Catholic Church, is extremely rigorous. This chapter will explore the phases of canonization and the questions at the heart of the process of “saint making.”
