canonization

In the Romish Church, is the solemn declaration by the Pope that a servant of God, renowned for his virtue and for miracles he has wrought, is to be publicly venerated by the whole Church, termed Saint, and honored by a special festival. A preparatory stage is beatification, and the beatification and canonization of a saint are promoted by a long, tedious, and costly process, much resembling a suit at law.
