Chronological list of saints and blesseds in the 13th century

Okay kiddo, so basically a long long time ago, in the 13th century, there were a bunch of really good and holy people who did amazing things for the world and for their faith. They were called saints and blesseds.

Now, these saints and blesseds have been remembered for how they lived their lives and the good things they did, so people made a list of them in order of when they were born or when they died. This list is called a "chronological list," which just means it goes in order of time.

So imagine you have a bunch of cards with pictures and names of these saints and blesseds on them, and you arrange them from the first born or died to the last born or died. That's basically what a chronological list is.

This list is important because it helps people remember these holy men and women and their stories. It helps us learn from their great examples and strive to be better people ourselves.
