This page groups figures by their current standing in the eyes of their own faith. 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 by veneration status lets a visitor tell a figure actively honored today from one no longer widely venerated.
