Secundum [[Biblia Sacra]] sanctus est, qui sanctificatur ([[Liber II Paralipomenon]] 6:41). Primi Christiani seipsos sanctos appellabant ([[Epistula ad Hebraeos|Hebraei]] 13:24; [[Epistula Iudae|Iudas]] 1:3; [[Epistula ad Philemonem|Philemon]] 1:5, 7). Notio sanctitatis condita est in opinione Christiana, ut concordantia actionum alicuius cum voluntate dei illum perfectiorem faceret et sanctificaret et sic vita illius perfecta fere fieret. Ab aetate prima Christianitatis [[Paulus Tarsensis|Paulus Apostolus]] et alii "ἅγιους" non solum omnes credentes vivos (e. g. [[Epistula ad Philippenses|Philippenses]] 4;21-22 vel [[Apocalypsis Ioannis|Revelatio]] 20;9) sed interdum etiam beatos in caelo ([[Epistula ad Thessalonicenses I|I Thessalonicenses]] 3;13) vocant.<ref>Donaldus Attwater et Catharina Rachel John.

Christianitate crescente, homines verbum ''sanctus'' utebatur potius ad designadum singula individua, qui habebantur et venerabantur ut exemplaria fidei pro aliis Christianis. In principio terminus pro [[martyr]]ibus fidei adhibebatur. Ad [[sepulcrum|sepulcra]] martyrum fideles congregare et [[eucharistia]]m celebrare solebant. Exemplum primum talium caerimoniorum celebrationes [[saeculum 2|saeculo secundo]] quotannis ad sepulcrum [[Polycarpus Smyrnaeus|Polycarpi]] habitae sunt.<!--<ref name="attwater2">Attwater & John (1995) page 2</ref>
From the beginning of Christianity, Christians prayed to departed friends and relatives to [[intercession|intercede]] on their behalf, and such prayers were soon extended to those regarded as saints. Rather quickly, the saints' intercession was sought more frequently than that of departed personal friends. [[Bishops]] and [[martyrs]] tended to be the most frequently venerated during these early years. Examples of early requests for intercession can be found in the [[Catacombs of Rome]].<ref name="attwater2"/>-->
