Home›Rulers, Emperors & Monarchs›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 Results10 entriesTraditionAllAncient Egyptian Religion (1)Buddhism (1)Christianity (1)Din-i-Ilahi (1)Hinduism (1)Islam (1)Judaism (1)Roman Religion (1)Shinto (1)Zoroastrianism (1)EraAll-1341 to -1323 (1)-215 to -164 (1)-304 to -232 (1)-63 to 14 (1)-711 to -585 (1)1050 to 1124 (1)1054 to 1111 (1)1060 to 1100 (1)1090 to 1150 (1)1456 to 1542 (1)1470 to 1520 (1)1542 to 1587 (1)1542 to 1605 (1)1583 to 1631 (1)1630 to 1685 (1)180 to 242 (1)272 to 337 (1)482 to 565 (1)554 to 628 (1)605 to 650 (1)624 to 705 (1)849 to 899 (1)958 to 1015 (1)birth_date = {{circa|AD 450}} (Wikipedia infobox, uncited) (1)Place of ActivityAllAfghanistan (1)Angkor (1)Antioch (1)Athens (1)China (1)Egypt (1)England (1)Germany (1)India (1)Italy (2)Japan (2)Jerusalem (1)Mughal Empire (1)Ottoman Empire (1)Scotland (1)Turkey (1)United Kingdom (1)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (10)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (9)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)Veneration StatusAllFormally Canonized or Sainted (1)Historically Significant but Not Venerated (4)Officially Recognized or Venerated (6)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (6)Disputed (1)Executed (1)Killed in battle (1)NationalityAllByzantine Empire (1)Egypt (1)Himyarite Kingdom (1)India (1)Iran (1)Japan (1)Kingdom of Jerusalem (1)Kingdom of Kongo (1)Kingdom of Scotland (1)Mughal Empire (1)Principality of Antioch (1)Roman Empire (2)Safavid Empire (1)Sasanian Empire (1)Seleucid Empire (1)The Khmer Empire (1)The Kingdom of England (1)The Tang Dynasty (1)Tibetan Empire (1)United Kingdom (1)Zhou dynasty (interregnum) (1)Adherents Today MaximumAll121,962 (1)14,800,000 (1)324,000,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll111,691 (1)14,800,000 (1)324,000,000 (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 (5)Era of Decline End YearAll400 (1)550 (1)Era of Decline Start YearAll380 (2)651 (1)Establishment StatusAllDeclared Not Established (1)Disestablished (3)Varies by Province (4)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Customary Norm (4)Membership Figure As OfAll2004-01-01 (1)2010-01-01 (4)2011-01-27 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2012-01-01 (1)2012-12-18 (2)2013-01-01 (1)2016-12-31 (1)2020-01-01 (5)Origin Period End YearAll3000 BCE (1)600 BCE (1)500 BCE (2)400 BCE (2)50 (1)632 (1)712 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll3300 BCE (1)1500 BCE (2)750 BCE (1)586 BCE (1)500 BCE (1)300 BCE (1)30 (1)610 (1)1582 (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 StatusAllDiscontinued as a state religion (2)Living, and practised in varied local forms (2)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (5)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
