What is a saint? A boy went to church with his mother on a sunny Sundaymorning. He was enthusiastic about the many colourful glass figuresthat the sun traced through the stained glass windows onto the floor andhe excitedly asked his mother what this and that meant. She whisperedthat this was such and such a saint, and that was another. Some timeafterward, in religion class, the teacher asked if anybody knew what asaint was. The excited boy, raising his hand, said “I do”. “A saint issomeone that the light shines through!” —Various versions of this popular story of unknown origins exist. Photo: P. Burghardt/Shutterstock
