Many Sororitas vie to become Living Saints and undertake arduous tasks to achieve this. For an individual to be declared a Living Saint, a conclave of the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition must agree that the subject is pure and the reason just. Only a few Living Saints are confirmed in a millennium, and they are all revered throughout the Imperium. Others are simply extremely powerful and/or holy. Examples of this include Saint Sabbat and Saint Celestine. As such, they usually appear in times of great need for the Imperium, often revealing themselves at the forefront of a War of Faith or Crusade. Living Saints are a notoriously brief phenomena, their holy power burning out as quickly as it appeared. Due to their strong faith in the Imperial Creed, many Living Saints hail from the Adepta Sororitas whilst others have been heroic Imperial Guardsmen. A Living Saint becomes the manifestation of the Emperor's might on the battlefield, serving to boost morale in addition to their formidable combat prowess. However, instead of mere revival, Living Saints become infused with a holy and terrible aura that is a wonder to behold. Their piety and faith to the Emperor has often led to their martyrdom, which is rewarded upon death with resurrection.
Living Saints are exceptionally rare beings proclaimed heroes by the Ecclesiarchy.
