What is canonization

The Catholic and Orthodox Church use canonization to declare a deceased person as a saint.which implies including her name in the canon (list of recognized saints) and permission to venerate her, acknowledging her power before God.
During Christianity, people were recognized as saints without the need for a formal process; however, this changed in the Middle Ages.
In the case of Catholicism, the Church must make an exhaustive investigation of the life of the person to be sanctified and there are four ways to achieve the appointment: the path of heroic virtues; the path of martyrdom; that of exceptional causes, confirmed by an ancient cult and written sources; and the offer of life.
In addition, it is an essential requirement who has done at least two miracles (or one in the case of being a martyr). The canonization is made in a solemn papal declaration and a feast day is assigned for liturgical veneration.
There is no established period to carry out the canonization of a character, since there are even cases like that of San Pedro Damián who was canonized up to 756 years after his death or, conversely, the case of San Antonio de Padua who was named up to 352 days after his death.
The last canonization took place in October 2019, when the Pope declared Cardinal John Henry Newman and Sister Dulce, from Brazil, saints.
