Martyrs are revered automatically as saints, but we distinguish in this list merely for the sake of interest and additional identification. 2 Not all saints are patrons. Conversely, many saints are patrons of more than one place, event, occupation or other circumstance. For purposes of this list, we have chosen to select the most widely known patronage(s) for the saints. 3 Many saints, martyrs and the beatified have more than one feast day, depending on where, or the circumstances under which, they are revered. For purposes of this list, if the Church (as a whole body) has designated a feast day, it is the one shown in this list; if not, every attempt is made to show what dates are known. Some saints do not have a known, specific feast day, and therefore one is not shown. 4 By modern terms, only saints and martyrs are canonized. Those who were designated as saints and martyrs before approximately 1170 AD (when Pope Alexander III issued a papal edict stating that only the head of the Church may make such determination) are considered to have been collectively accepted as saints by the Church, whether revered worldwide or only locally. This universal acceptance is generally referred to as "Pre-Congregational" canonization. In some instances, saints who lived centuries before the papal edict of 1170 AD have been formally canonized by the Roman Church. The Orthodox, Eastern and Roman Churches all follow different guidelines for establishing sainthood. This list seeks to include those who are revered as saintly in any of the Catholic churches in the world, regardless of guidelines, including those who have a regional cultus (following). Charlemagne’s cultus developed in about the year 1166, and was most recently confirmed by Pope Benedict XIV, prior to his ascension to the papacy. Charlemagne is venerated at Aachen, Germany. 6 Found on older lists of Beatified and Venerated individuals. See, e.g., Agnes B.C.
