A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about saints. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

Isidore of Seville Isidore of Seville, patron saint of the Internet.

Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily at standardizing the articles about people venerated by some Christians as saints or the blessed and making sure that they maintain a NPOV.

In the Roman Catholic Church the term "saint" refers to both the holy men, women and angels on earth and in heaven—however, since the 10th century, the title "Saint" is only given to persons who have been officially recognized (canonized) by the Church. Those given the title informally, prior to the establishment of the canonization process, are generally still considered both "saints" and "Saints."

The Eastern Orthodox Churches, Assyrian Church of the East, Oriental Orthodox Churches, Anglican Communion and Lutheran Churches maintain liturgical calendars commemorating individuals they consider to have lived according to the will of God, although they do not so often or explicitly use the word "saint". "Canonization" in all of these groups is far less legalistic than is the Roman Catholic. Also, in these churches, lack of "official recognition" in no way, shape, or form, prevents someone from being a full-fledged Saint. This project will include within its scope those individuals formally recognized as saints or included in the liturgical calendars of one or more Christian denominations.

Non-Christian Saints If there is an interest in including saints from religions other than Christianity, please propose those changes on our talk page and we can integrate them into the wikiproject.

Article suggestions & translations

List suggestions for new articles, or articles to be translated from another Wiki, below:

  • List your suggestion here
    • Translation (relics)
      • A subject which seems very interesting in terms both of popular devotion and (historical) local politics. (Having some good bones helped to establish yourself as a city.) http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12734a.htm has a section (more or less expunged from our article on relics) which seems like a good start, but may be out of date.
