Showcased saint-related content

InChristian belief, asaint, also known as ahallow, is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree ofholiness,likeness, or closeness toGod. However, the use of the termsaint depends on the context anddenomination. Officialecclesiastical recognition, andveneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process ofcanonization in theCatholic Church orglorification in theEastern Orthodox Church after their approval. The saints are honored in the liturgical calendars ofEvangelical Lutheranism andAnglicanism. In other nonconformist denominations, such as thePlymouth Brethren, and following fromPauline usage,saint refers broadly to any holyChristian without special recognition or selection.

While the English wordsaint (deriving from theLatinsanctus) originated in Christianity,historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special holiness that many religions attribute to certain people", referring to the Hindurishi, Sikhbhagat orguru, the Shintoistkami, the Taoistimmortal orzhenren, the Jewishtzadik, the Islamicwalī/fakir, and the Buddhistarhat orbodhisattva also as saints. Depending on the religion, saints are recognized either by official declaration, as in Roman Catholicism, Oriental Orthodoxy or Eastern Orthodoxy, or by popular acclamation (seefolk saint).

Selected biography

Yaropolk Izyaslavich (died 1087) was aKnyaz (prince) in eleventh-centuryKievan Rus. The son of Grand PrinceIzyaslav Yaroslavich by a Polish princess namedGertruda, he is visible in papal sources by the early 1070s but largely absent in contemporary Rus'ian sources until the year of his father's death, 1078. During his father's exile in the 1070s, Yaropolk can be found acting on his father's behalf in an attempt to gain the favor of theGerman emperors and thecourt ofPope Gregory VII. Yaropolk followed his father when the latter returned to Kiev in 1077.

After his father's death in the following year, 1078, Yaropolk was appointedPrince of Vladimir-in-Volhynia andPrince of Turov by the new Grand Prince, his uncleVsevolod. By 1085 however, Yaropolk had fallen into a state of enmity with the Grand Prince and by extension the Grand Prince's sonVladimir Monomakh, forcing him to flee from his principality to his mother's homeland, Poland. He returned in the following year, but was soon murdered. He was remembered in Rus'ian sources as extremely pious and generous to the church, and is recognized as asaint in theEastern Orthodox Church. He was said to have left all his wealth to theMonastery of the Caves in Kiev. ThePrimary Chronicle's eulogy is the first indication of saintly regard, and indeed today he is venerated as a saint in theEastern Orthodox Church, with his feast day falling on the reported day of his death, November 22.
