 Beatification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 9th-century monk and author of A Commentary on the Apocalypse, see Beatus of Liébana.
In Catholicism, beatification (from Latin beatus, blessed, via Greek μακάριος, makarios) is a recognition accorded by the church of a dead person's accession to Heaven and capacity to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in his or her name (intercession of saints).
As far as the word "beatification" is concerned, its use probably does not antedate the fourth century, when it was introduced in the church at Carthage, but the fact is certainly older.

 Abstraction then & now, or, thoughts on drawing from the Morgan Beatus by Deborah Rosenthal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
This Beatus manuscript lies almost exactly as distant in time from the twentieth century as the art of the antique was from the Florentines of the 1420s.
In the Beatus manuscript, every shape is colored in right to its contours—Maius is like Mondrian in that he constructs his flat world of little more than planes of different colors.
Drawing from the Beatus, we may reinterpret its bands of color in our drawings as Constructivist planes, composed of many lines; the splendid complications of its draperies may yield in our drawings the comparative geometries of Platonic solids or even tessellating patterns in the plane.

It might be tempting to understand Górecki by that singular success; in the case of the Second Symphony and Beatus vir, you wouldn't be too far off base.
By the late 1960s, the composer already had settled into a signature aesthetic that many came to know in the Third Symphony: a lone voice floating over a murmuring pulse, thunderous blows of percussion, massive blocks of orchestral chords, and religiously oriented texts.
The ethnic connections on this Naxos release run deep: Copernicus was Polish, Beatus vir was commissioned by the Polish Pope, John Paul II (when he was still Cardinal of Cracow), and these artists, uniformly first-rate, are Polish as well.

 Felix, laetus, beatus
More specifically, beatus is used of the gods or spirits in Elysium: supremely happy, blissful.
Beatus, of persons, seems to indicate more or less what the Greeks meant by eudaimonia.
One is happy in this sense when one's life, as a whole, is going well; this sort of happiness is not merely a feeling (that's closer to laetus); nor is it merely a matter of having the good luck to avoid misfortune and come out on top (felix).

 Origin of quam meaning "than"
The first is the typical way in which Latin compares two things that are not different: "I am as happy as he" = ego tam beatus sum quam ille.
These two sentences would be readily conflated and the redundant "beatus est" ellipted (or skipped over) as follows: ego tam beatus sum quam ille.
Linguists believe that the Romans simply confused the construction that followed ego beatior sum with the construction that followed ego tam beatus sum.
