This word has several meanings. The root means "rule." The Canon of the Mass is the central unchanging prayer surrounding the Eucharist (from just after the Sanctus to just before the Lord’s Prayer). Canon law is the law of the church, the rules it sets up to govern its activities. The canon of scripture is the list of books accepted as divinely inspired and making up the Bible. The canon of saints is the list of those officially recognized as having achieved sainthood. Canonization of a person is a declaration that they are a saint in heaven and are eligible to be included in those prayed to in the Canon of the Mass. In the Anglican Church, canon has become an honorary office bestowed on distinguished priests, often serving in a cathedral. This title is similar to that of monsignor in the Roman Catholic Church. The title "canon" has sometimes been applied to priests living in community under a common set of rules or canons. Secular meanings of the word have also arisen, most related to the word "rule."
