    Canonization (or canonisation) is the act by which a Catholic or Orthodox church declares a deceased person to be a saint, upon which declaration the person is included in the canon, or list, of recognized saints. Originally, individuals were recognized as saints without any formal process (as it is still done in the Orthodox Church).[citation needed] The process is most commonly used in, although not limited to, the Catholic Church.
