These patrons are sometimes local worthies, canonised by tradition or by the Roman see, but no less often they are simply local appellations of Christ or the Virgin, appellations which are known theoretically to refer all to the same numen, but which practically possess diverse religious values; for the miracles and intercessions attributed to the Virgin under one title are far from being miracles and intercessions attributable to her under another.
During his life he does not seem to have been distinguished above other archbishops for learning, piety, or good deeds. He was not canonised until 1284. It is difficult to understand either why the minster had not obtained a patron saint before this time, or why the choice eventually fell upon St. William.
Like his cousin, Edward became a popular, though not a canonised, saint.
The Black Death reached Herefordshire in 1349, and Bishop Trilleck is said to have kept it at bay in the city by a procession of the shrine of the recently canonised St. Thomas of Hereford. Bishop Trilleck was buried in the cathedral, and a fine brass effigy was placed on his grave.
According to Marat, the martyr apostle and canonised saint of the Revolution, what is the object of the Revolution but to give to the lowly the fortunes of the great?
Cervantes was born in 1547, and the First Part of his immortal work was published in 1605.

Euschemon's bell was ringing by itself. In a trice priests and laymen swarmed to the belfry, and indignantly demanded of the sacristan what he meant. "To enlighten you," he responded. "To teach you to give honour where honour is due. To unmask those canonised impostors."
The next life is of 1722, and the author made use of the facts collected for Joseph's beatification. There is another life by Pastrovicchi, in 1753. He was canonised in that year, when all the facts were remote by about a century. Joseph's parents were pauperes sed honesti; his father was a carpenter, his mother a woman of almost virulent virtue, who kept her son in great order.
That man, sir, deserves to be canonised. Eight guineas and a half, sir, and such a result!" "Such a result!" the Prophet whispered back.
