Timeline of 250 Catholic Saints & Blesseds

This video shows the 250 most popular saints and blesseds of the Catholic Church.

The drop of blood indicates martyrdom, the state shows the place of birth.

Q&A :
1 - How is a "popular" saint determined?
To determine the 250 most "popular" saints, I ranked the Wikipedia list of saints and blessed by the number of page views.

2 - Is the date of death of the early saints correct?
To establish a chronological order of the saints, I made necessary approximations for the first saints. Assuming that Jesus died in 30 AD, I estimated the date of death of each saint based on the sources given below.

Fun (or sad) fact: the last shown person in this video was Carlo Acutis. He was a devoutly Catholic Italian teenager who created a website to teach people about Catholicism. He died of leukemia aged 15.

He was beautified in 2020. Because of his passion for programming, he is considored to be the patron of computer programmers. If you're a Catholic computer programmer and are having troubles with your work, you now know who to ask.

I am a Catholic. I believed I am called to be a saint, I feel as if God is calling me to show my potential to the world. Also show that your suffering has a purpose, I am currently suffering from a cancer called synovial sarcoma and I believe that God has a lot in store for me. As well as my cancer has shaped my faith like never before. It’s truly amazing how much these saints demonstrated for us how we should live our lives according to thy word and be grateful for everything because, being grateful is the secret to happiness.

Important fact: Saint Hedewig of Poland was a King not a queen. In our tradition "queen" is just title of king's wife. The ruler of the country is always titled king. Even if the king is a wonan.

We in Croatia pray to GOD and Blessed Mary that one day our Aloysius Stepinac will be proclaimed a Saint of the Catholic church! 🇭🇷✝️
Pray for strong Saints in our lifetime and pray for miracles in their name! 🙏

Well researched and great video, especially for an original concept like the chronology of all 250 Christian saints

[Labyrinth]

Good to have you back! Please don’t disappear for another year!

We are blessed to be able to know the life and history of the saints, because that way we can see the legacy of Jesus, the saints are the true face of Christianity, they are the direct fruits of the time that Jesus spent here on earth.

Impressive how christianity grew beyond roman influences in middle east, africa and europe. There were even saints from other cultures like Olaf II, a norse king that was born in the late age of the viking norway, Vladimir the great, from the slavic Kievan rus', Justo Takayama from Japan or Juan Diego that was born in the Aztec empire.

Faustina Kowalska and Maximilian Kolbe were born when Poland was part of the Russian Empire. That's why I put Russia instead of Poland. Mea culpa.

I think a lot of our surnames here in the Philippines came from saints. There are a lot of Aquino's, Buenaventura's, Francisco's, and many more surnames here. I'm proud to be a Catholic.

If you're interested:
*Aquino* is based on Aquinas.
*Buenaventura* is based on Bonaventure (that's at least what I think).
*Francisco* is based on Francis.

I'm not a Catholic, but I'm still a Christian, so I really appreciate that these Blessed/Saints offer their lives and prayers for the Lord our God😊 especially now that we have two saints from our country (Philippines🇵🇭)
So, greetings my dear brothers and sisters, may God bless us
