Home›Clergy, Theologians & Religious Officials›Revered InBrowse ByRevered InThis page groups historical figures by where they are revered today, the region or tradition that keeps their memory through shrines, feast days or living devotion. Wikipedia defines veneration as "the practice of honoring people and articles of religious significance, for example, the veneration of saints and the veneration of relics." Browsing this way lets a visitor see the geographic or communal reach of a figure's ongoing cult.FactsRevered InConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Revered InFilter Results4 entriesTraditionAllChristianity (2)Mesopotamian Religion (1)Zoroastrianism (1)EraAll-2300 to -2260 (1)1013 to 1054 (1)1018 to 1078 (1)1094 to 1148 (1)1119 to 1170 (1)1120 to 1196 (1)1135 to 1202 (1)1190 to 1260 (1)1360 to 1428 (1)1402 to 1471 (1)1499 to 1569 (1)155 to 220 (1)1620 to 1682 (1)1648 to 1717 (1)1720 to 1772 (1)1725 to 1807 (1)1746 to 1818 (1)1748 to 1830 (1)1768 to 1834 (1)1780 to 1842 (1)1783 to 1864 (1)1797 to 1883 (1)1803 to 1882 (1)1809 to 1891 (1)1811 to 1893 (1)1821 to 1846 (1)1822 to 1889 (1)1828 to 1898 (1)1834 to 1915 (1)1884 to 1976 (1)1886 to 1968 (1)1889 to 1966 (1)1891 to 1979 (1)1892 to 1971 (1)1895 to 1979 (1)1899 to 1981 (1)1910 to 1997 (1)1912 to 1969 (1)1918 to 2018 (1)1922 to 2010 (1)1926 to 1982 (1)1929 to 1968 (1)200 to 258 (1)220 to 293 (1)246 to 330 (1)260 to 340 (1)270 to 355 (1)301 to 374 (1)311 to 383 (1)335 to 414 (1)386 to 451 (1)530 to 600 (1)538 to 594 (1)780 to 856 (1)826 to 869 (1)991 to 1033 (1)Place of ActivityAllAndalusia (1)Berlin (1)Birmingham (1)Blois (1)Bonn (1)Boston (1)Bulgaria (1)Byblos (1)Carthage (1)China (1)Cincinnati (1)Constantinople (1)Czechia (1)England (1)Florence (1)France (1)Georgia (1)Germany (1)Greece (1)India (1)Iran (1)Ireland (1)Italy (1)Jerusalem (1)Kentucky (1)Lisbon (1)London (1)Macau (1)Milan (1)Montgomery (1)Montreal (1)Moscow (1)Münster (1)New Jersey (1)New York (1)North Africa (1)Ohio (1)Paris (1)Philadelphia (1)Prague (1)Romania (1)Rome (1)Saint Petersburg (1)Siberia (1)Spain (1)Syria (1)Trier (1)Turkey (1)United States (2)Ur (1)Voronezh (1)Warsaw (1)West Africa (1)Zurich (1)Zwolle (1)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (3)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (4)Veneration StatusAllFormally Canonized or Sainted (1)Historically Significant but Not Venerated (3)Officially Recognized or Venerated (2)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (1)Died by accident or misadventure (1)Died of natural causes (1)Disputed (1)Executed (1)Martyred (1)NationalityAllAlbania (1)Ancient Egypt (1)Ancient Greece (1)Byzantine Empire (1)Canada (1)France (1)Germany (1)Holy Roman Empire (1)India (1)Ireland (1)Italy (1)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Lebanon (1)Ostrogothic Kingdom (1)Poland (1)Portugal (1)Roman Empire (1)Russia (1)Sasanian Empire (1)South Korea (1)Spain (1)Sumer (1)Switzerland (1)The Byzantine Empire (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (2)Member OfAllAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church (1)Old Believers (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll121,962 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll111,691 (1)152,958 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllChurch-Reported Rolls (1)Independent Survey (2)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (2)Era of Decline End YearAll100 (1)Era of Decline Start YearAll100 BCE (1)651 (1)Establishment StatusAllDisestablished (1)Varies by Province (1)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCustomary Norm (1)Membership Figure As OfAll1968-01-01 (1)2004-01-01 (1)2007-01-01 (1)2010-01-01 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2012-01-01 (1)2015-01-01 (1)2020-01-01 (2)2023-01-01 (1)2024-01-01 (1)Origin Period End YearAll3000 BCE (1)600 BCE (1)50 (1)1961 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll3500 BCE (1)1500 BCE (1)30 (1)1961 (1)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex marriage is performed and LGBT clergy are ordained on equal terms with heterosexual clergy (1)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (1)Practice StatusAllDiscontinued as a state religion (1)Living, and practised in varied local forms (2)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (1)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
