Saints in Anglicanism are people recognised as having lived a holy life and as being an exemplar and model for other Christians (as opposed to the Protestant teaching that saint is simply another term for a believer in Christ, literally "consecrated ones", from the Greek hagios). Beginning in the 10th century, the Catholic Church began to centralise and formalise the process of recognising saints through canonisation.
