Because Christians believed in one God, numerous were persecuted for their faith.

When I first went to St. Mary's in preschool did never wanted to go because I just wanted to stay home.

Saints are always different from everyday people, thus no one understands them in their lives, only a lot of years after their death. Joan of Arc was a saint like this as well, she was too far ahead of her times and was killed by her fellow men, because they didn’t know what else to do. She was canonized in 1920, after 489 years of her death.
