Home›Poets & Writers›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 Results3 entriesTraditionAllChristianity (1)Islam (1)Shinto (1)EraAll1817 to 1862 (1)845 to 903 (1)Place of ActivityAllAntwerp (1)Cambridge (1)Japan (1)Oxford (1)Salisbury (1)Turkey (1)United States (1)GenderAllFemale (1)Male (3)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (3)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (1)Officially Recognized or Venerated (3)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (2)NationalityAllArmenia (1)Japan (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllChurch-Reported Rolls (1)Independent Survey (2)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (2)Establishment StatusAllDisestablished (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)2016-12-31 (1)2020-01-01 (2)Origin Period End YearAll50 (1)632 (1)712 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll300 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 (1)Position on UsuryAllInterest 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 (2)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTwo and a half percent.
