I wondered this myself. I know that the Pope canonizes Saints. The Patriarchs must do the same thing, I wonder if they also conduct investigations for the elected individuals.

And the word "saint" in lower case is those that enter into God's kingdom. The word "Saint" with a capital letter is a canonized saint which has been recognized by the Church.

Well all salvation ed people are Saints. For start the official veneration a person must be honored and venerated by believers. Any deceased EO Christian can be venerated by believers in their privet homes. If the veneration is widely spread Holy Synod of the local Church does a formal canonization (including writing special prayers dedicated to the Saint, painting an icon, writing an official biography and setting the date for the commemoration). Holy Synod also sends the act of canonization to the Holy Synods of the rest of the hydrocephalus Churhes which can also put the Saint in their lists.

Pray and repent.
As far as formal recognition, it's usually a matter of the bishops affirming the devotions of the faithful, not a bureaucratic process.
The link is to a proclamation of a North American saint in 2000.

God Is,

A question: do you mean, how does it come about that a person is included in the calendar of saints; or do you mean, how is it that a man attains the holiness of a saint?
