Saint

Saint is a title for one deemed to have attained sainthood. All who are saints are twice-Born, i.e. Born in Faith.
Those who are said Holy or Saints are said to act according to a rather whole knowledge as opposed to a quite partial knowledge, or to work for the whole as opposed to being mere partisans.
They are said to be wholesome, as in being benevolent for others.Originally an adjective prefixed to the name of a canonized person; by c. 1300 it came to be regarded as a noun. Meaning "person of extraordinary holiness" is recorded from 1560s. Saint Bernard, the breed of mastiff dogs (1839), so called because the monks of the hospice of the pass of St. Bernard (between Italy and Switzerland) sent them to rescue snowbound travelers; St. Elmo's Fire "corposant" (1560s) is from Italian fuoco di Sant'Elmo, named for the patron saint of Mediterranean sailors, a corruption of the name of St. Erasmus, an Italian bishop martyred in 303.
