Is there some sort of a rankings list of Christian prophets and saints where they are ranked by holiness/greatness?
All I've got so far is:
>Mary > Angels > Prophets > Apostles > Church Fathers > Martyrs
Which prophets were the greatest?

There are so many saints though.

Also this site is really awesome, each saint has their own little profile page with videos and a full history and stuff.
I just picked one at random.

I've always liked the story of saint Christopher. A ton of saints died like martyrs, or did miracles. Christopher was just a huge, scary motherfucker who decided to just one day go serve the greatest king there ever was. So he goes to the greatest king, but the king is scared by the devil. So Christopher goes to look for devil. He finds a bandit that says he's the devil, so he decides to serve him. But the devil avoids crosses, so Christopher now wants to serve Christ. He finds an hermit that tells him that the best way to serve Christ is praying and fasting. Christopher says fuck that, is there another way. So the hermit tells him since he's a huge guy, he could help people cross a dangerous river or something.
After he does just that for a bit, a kid comes up to him and wants to cross. But during the crossing, the rivers gets swollen, and the kid turns out to be heavy as fuck. He still manages to cross, though, and tells the kid, wtf, you almost killed us, it's like I had the weight of the world on my should back there. The kids tells him, that's because you did have the weight of the world, plus the weight of the one who created it on your shoulders, and then the kid vanishes.
After that he did some missionary work, survived multiple attempts to kill him, but ended up beheaded. For some reason since I was a kid it has always resonated in me. I imagined Christopher as a well meaning but scary and dim witted giant, and thought the conversation between the hermit and him or his missionary work would have been pretty hilarious to watch.
