Saint Bernard's College
In religious belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God.

While the English word ''saint'' 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 Jewish tzadik, the Islamic walī, the Hindu rishi or Sikh gur ...
