Chronological list of saints and blesseds in the 15th century

Alright kiddo, so a long long time ago in the 15th century, people believed in something called saints. Saints are people who were really really good during their time on Earth and did things that helped other people and showed love and kindness.

Now, people made a list of all the saints and blesseds who lived in that time, which is called a chronological list, and it's like a timeline of all these special people.

Just like how we have calendars today, people in the 15th century had calendars too, but they were different. They marked important days with the names of saints and blesseds who lived before them.

So, in this list there were people like St. Joan of Arc, who was a brave warrior who fought for her country, and St. Francis of Paola, who was very kind and helped people who were sick.

These saints were very important to people back then because they believed that these special people were watching over them and praying for them, even after they had passed away. And so, they remembered them by putting their names on the calendar and celebrating their lives on their feast days.

And that, my dear, is a brief summary of the chronological list of saints and blesseds in the 15th century.
