Canonization is the declaration of a deceased person as an officially recognized saint, specifically, the official act of a Christian communion declaring a person worthy of public veneration and entering their name in the canon catalogue of saints, or authorized list of that communion's recognized saints.

It matters because it formally acknowledges someone as worthy of special religious veneration and adds their name to the church's official list of saints.
