Irish Saints
Some say that to obtain Sainthood you have to have some miracles on your name, and after your death a slow process is set in charge by which you eventually will be declared a Saint.
When the Apostle Paul wrote his letters, he generally addressed the Christians as Saints, meaning disciples of Christ, - Christians. The word Saint is related to "holy," "sanctify" and similar words, expressing both the position Christians have been brought in by the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ and a status we should achieve in our daily live.
Ireland during the dark ages was reputed to be the Isle of Saints and Scholars, and many ordinary Irish(wo)man obtained Sainthood by believing the message that Patrick, Columcille, Columban and many many others preached.
