Home›Clergy, Theologians & Religious Officials›Veneration Status›Officially Recognized or VeneratedBrowse ByOfficially Recognized or VeneratedThis page groups historical figures by how actively they are venerated today, from figures with a living feast day and shrine to ones remembered only in scholarship. Many traditions formalize this status through a process such as canonization, which Wikipedia defines as "the declaration of a deceased person as an officially recognized saint." Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a figure with ongoing devotion apart from one preserved only in historical record.FactsOfficially Recognized or VeneratedConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Officially Recognized or VeneratedFilter Results32 entriesTraditionAllChristianity (29)Zoroastrianism (1)EraAll1013 to 1054 (1)1135 to 1202 (1)1190 to 1260 (1)1360 to 1428 (1)1746 to 1818 (1)1748 to 1830 (1)1768 to 1834 (1)1783 to 1864 (1)1797 to 1883 (1)1809 to 1891 (1)1834 to 1915 (1)1884 to 1976 (1)1895 to 1979 (1)1899 to 1981 (1)1912 to 1969 (1)1922 to 2010 (1)1929 to 1968 (1)220 to 293 (1)530 to 600 (1)538 to 594 (1)780 to 856 (1)991 to 1033 (1)Place of ActivityAllBerlin (2)Birmingham (1)Boston (1)Carthage (1)Cincinnati (1)Constantinople (1)France (1)Georgia (2)Germany (2)Greece (1)Iran (1)Italy (1)Jerusalem (1)Lisbon (1)Montgomery (1)Moscow (1)New York (1)Ohio (1)Paris (5)Philadelphia (2)Rome (1)Saint Petersburg (1)Spain (1)United States (1)West Africa (1)GenderAllFemale (4)Male (28)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (32)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (1)Died by accident or misadventure (1)Died of natural causes (8)NationalityAllByzantine Empire (1)France (2)Germany (4)Italy (3)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Ostrogothic Kingdom (1)Portugal (1)Roman Empire (1)Russia (3)Sasanian Empire (1)Spain (1)The Byzantine Empire (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (8)Member OfAllAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church (2)Revered InAllChristianity (31)Zoroastrianism (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 32Absalom JonesOfficially Recognized or VeneratedAndrei RublevOfficially Recognized or VeneratedBrother LawrenceOfficially Recognized or VeneratedClarence JordanOfficially Recognized or VeneratedElias HicksOfficially Recognized or VeneratedElizabeth of the TrinityOfficially Recognized or VeneratedFriedrich SchleiermacherOfficially Recognized or VeneratedFulton J.
