Santus

Santus is a term that can refer to several distinct entities, the most prominent being a religious concept and a geographical location. In a theological context, Santus is a Latin adjective meaning holy or sacred. It is famously found in the Sanctus chant within the Roman Catholic Mass, where it is sung as "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth" meaning "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts." This invocation emphasizes the divine nature and sanctity of God.

Beyond its religious significance, Santus is also a name associated with a geographical area. There is a locality named Santus in Italy. Further details about this specific location, such as its administrative region, population, or historical context, would require more specific disambiguation. The term can also appear in personal names or as a surname, though these are less common associations. Without further context, "Santus" most frequently evokes the religious declaration of holiness.
