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.

Sources are gcatholic.org, catholic.org and the Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon.
