Home›Religious Founders, Prophets & Reformers›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)FactsComparisonPrimary Academic DisciplineWell-attestedComparative Religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Officially Recognized or VeneratedFilter Results17 entriesTraditionAllBahá’í Faith (3)Christianity (4)Druze Faith (1)Islam (3)Judaism (1)Latter Day Saint Movement (1)EraAll1080 to 1130 (1)1200 to 1276 (1)1492 to 1554 (1)1499 to 1552 (1)1626 to 1676 (1)1805 to 1844 (1)1813 to 1849 (1)1817 to 1852 (1)1827 to 1915 (1)1865 to 1926 (1)1866 to 1961 (1)1890 to 1944 (1)1897 to 1957 (1)1942 to 2007 (1)634 to 707 (1)985 to 1021 (1)Place of ActivityAllAustralia (1)Cairo (1)Egypt (1)Germany (1)Grimma (1)Haifa (1)Iran (1)Memphis (1)Morocco (1)Shiraz (1)Smyrna (1)Syria (1)Tanta (1)Tokyo (1)United States (5)GenderAllFemale (6)Male (11)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (16)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (1)Died of natural causes (3)Disputed (2)Executed (1)Martyred (1)NationalityAllAlmohad Caliphate (1)Germany (2)Iran (4)Japan (2)Mamluk Sultanate (1)Morocco (1)The Ottoman Empire (1)United States (6)In GroupAllBaha'i Founders and Forerunners (2)Christian Reform and Anabaptist Founders (1)East Asian New Religion Founders (1)Islamic Founders and Reformers (3)Jewish Messianic Movement Founders (1)Latter Day Saint Movement Founders (1)Protestant and Evangelical Founders (4)Member OfAllPTL Club (2)Trinity Broadcasting Network (2)Revered InAllBahá’í Faith (3)Buddhism (2)Christianity (8)Islam (4)Judaism (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 17Ahmad al-BadawiOfficially Recognized or VeneratedAimee Semple McPhersonOfficially Recognized or VeneratedArgula von GrumbachOfficially Recognized or VeneratedCharles Harrison MasonOfficially Recognized or VeneratedEllen G.
