Home›Historians, Ethnographers & Scholars of Religion›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 Results6 entriesTraditionAllChristianity (1)Islam (1)Judaism (1)Shinto (1)EraAll1066 to 1081 (1)1499 to 1590 (1)1524 to 1579 (1)1529 to 1585 (1)1535 to 1616 (1)1539 to 1616 (1)1573 to 1647 (1)1578 to 1650 (1)1579 to 1660 (1)1602 to 1680 (1)1851 to 1930 (1)1863 to 1963 (1)1877 to 1947 (1)1907 to 1986 (1)1907 to 1998 (1)1908 to 1984 (1)1909 to 2005 (1)37 to 100 (1)973 to 1050 (1)Place of ActivityAllAfghanistan (1)Avignon (1)Basel (1)Berlin (1)Bremen (1)Cairo (1)Colombo (1)Cusco (1)France (2)India (2)Indiana (1)London (2)Massachusetts (1)Mexico (1)Peru (1)Romania (1)Rome (1)Spain (1)Switzerland (1)Tehran (1)United States (1)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (5)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (6)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (4)Officially Recognized or Venerated (3)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (1)NationalityAllGermany (1)India (1)Iran (1)Japan (1)Peru (1)Roman Empire (1)Romania (1)Spain (1)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (3)United States (1)Test ResultAllDebunked (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll13,000 (1)14,800,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll13,000 (1)14,800,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllChurch-Reported Rolls (1)Independent Survey (5)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (3)Establishment StatusAllDeclared Not Established (1)Disestablished (1)Varies by Province (3)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Customary Norm (4)Membership Figure As OfAll1990-01-01 (1)2001-01-01 (1)2008-01-01 (1)2010-01-01 (3)2011-01-27 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2012-12-18 (1)2013-01-01 (1)2014-01-01 (1)2016-12-31 (1)2020-01-01 (4)Origin Period End YearAll500 BCE (1)400 BCE (1)50 (1)632 (1)712 (1)1954 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1500 BCE (1)586 BCE (1)300 BCE (1)30 (1)610 (1)1946 (1)Position on MarriageAllMarriage may licitly be polygynous (1)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex orientation or practice is held to bar full membership or participation (1)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (2)Position on UsuryAllInterest is permitted but bound by ethical constraints against exploiting the poor (1)Interest of any kind on a loan is forbidden (1)Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (1)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (5)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
