Dutch ..... Mensen die door anderen als geestelijk volmaakt worden vereerd; in diverse religies zijn het overledenen van wie men gelooft dat ze in de hemel zijn. In de rooms-katholieke en oosters-katholieke kerken zijn het mensen die formeel door de kerk zijn erkend vanwege de uitzonderlijke verhevenheid van het leven dat zij hebben geleid en aan wie daarom een speciale plaats in de hemel toekomt; vaak zijn ze formeel gecanoniseerd.
