Becoming a Saint?

When the Roman Catholic church and the Eastern Orthodox church split, becoming a saint was two different ways in two different lights. To become a saint in the Roman Catholic church you had to go through a process called canonization which is to become a saint. In fact, both churches use this method. In the E.O church, one of the most famous saints was Basil of Ostrog, Saint Basil or in Serbian, Sveti Vasilije Ostroski. He was born in Herzegovina and became a monk at a Monastery name Dormition Tvrdos near Trebinje. He was chosen to become a saint through acts of kindness, holiness, charity and the determination to his religion. To have an even stricter life, he moved to the mountains called Ostrog. There he lived in a cave to his death, praying for everyone and living a very humble life. After his death there, the cave in which he lived in became a monastery and his remains had miracles. It was said that the remains had a sweet scent and when touched, people would be cured from illnesses. Since I am an Eastern Orthodox follower, I was told of the story how every time something horrible happens to an E.O family or they are in search of guidance, you need to pray to Saint Basil and he will always help. To become a saint you need to be very humble, caring, religious and work any kind of miracle.
