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 InSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Revered InFilter Results4 entriesTraditionAllAncient Greek Religion (1)Christianity (1)Hermeticism (1)Islam (1)Judaism (1)Neoplatonism (1)EraAll-384 to -322 (2)-570 to -495 (1)1126 to 1198 (1)1232 to 1316 (1)1288 to 1344 (1)1340 to 1410 (1)1380 to 1444 (1)1433 to 1499 (1)1463 to 1494 (1)1548 to 1600 (1)1646 to 1716 (1)1724 to 1804 (1)1813 to 1855 (1)1859 to 1938 (2)801 to 873 (1)878 to 950 (1)980 to 1037 (1)Place of ActivityAllDenmark (1)France (1)Germany (2)Greece (2)Iran (1)Iraq (1)Italy (2)Morocco (1)Naples (1)Paris (1)Russia (1)Spain (2)Syria (1)Tunis (1)Turkey (2)GenderAllMale (4)HistoricityAllComposite figure: more than one person or tradition behind the name (1)Historically attested (4)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (3)Officially Recognized or Venerated (3)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (3)Disputed (2)Executed (1)NationalityAllAncient Greece (3)Austria (2)Caliphate of Cordoba (1)Denmark (1)France (2)Germany (2)Italy (1)Republic of Florence (1)Russia (1)Spain (1)The Abbasid Caliphate (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll14,800,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll14,800,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllIndependent Survey (3)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (2)Era of Decline End YearAll300 BCE (1)Era of Decline Start YearAll450 BCE (1)Establishment StatusAllDeclared Not Established (1)Varies by Province (2)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Customary Norm (1)Membership Figure As OfAll2010-01-01 (2)2011-01-27 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2013-01-01 (1)2020-01-01 (3)Origin Period End YearAll490 BCE (1)400 BCE (1)50 (1)632 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll586 BCE (1)530 BCE (1)30 (1)610 (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 StatusAllClosed ceremonial knowledge, described but not reproduced (1)Living, and practised in varied local forms (1)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (2)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
