Answer:

Hagiography is a genre of literature that focuses on the lives and deeds of saints or holy persons. It typically presents a highly idealized and uncritical account of the person's life, emphasizing their miraculous powers and other extraordinary qualities. Hagiographies are often written by religious believers and serve to inspire and educate the faithful about the virtues and practices of their religion. The term "hagiography" comes from the Greek words "hagios" meaning "holy" and "grapho" meaning "I write."
