Venerable
''The Venerable'' often shortened to Venerable is a style, title, or epithet used in some Christianity, Christian churches. The title is often accorded to holy persons for their spiritual perfection and wisdom. Catholic In the Catholic Church, after a deceased Catholic has been declared a servant of God by a Bishop (Catholic Church), bishop and proposed for beatification by the pope, such a servant of God may next be declared venerable ("heroic virtue, heroic in virtue") during the investigation and process leading to possible canonization as a saint.

List Of Eastern Orthodox Saint Titles
The saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church (and of the Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine Rite) have various customary saint titles with which they are commemorated on the liturgical calendar and in Divine Services. Many of the titles can overlap with each other (e.g. apostle and disciple) or are at least not mutually exclusive. Some of them are, however, mutually exclusive (e.g. prophet and righteous). Some titles are only given to one saint, very often the Virgin Mary and some titles are also no longer given to saints (e.g. apostle). It is not rare that certain titles, such as ''Venerable'', ''Prophet'' or ''Hieromartyr'', are placed in front of a saint's name instead of the standard ''Saint'' (e.g. Venerable Bede, Prophet Jonah or Hieromartyr Maximus Sandovic). List The following list explains the titles and gives an exemplary saint for each title: * Archangel: an angel of the second lowest rank, whose purpose is to act as a messenger of God to humans; this ran ...

List Of Eastern Orthodox Saints
This is a partial list of canonised saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church. In Orthodoxy, a saint is defined as anyone who is in heaven, whether recognised here on earth, or not. By this definition, Adam and Eve, Moses, the various prophets, and archangels are all given the title of ''Saint''. Sainthood in the Orthodox Church does not necessarily reflect a moral model, but communion with God; there are many examples of people who lived in great sin and became saints by humility and repentance: Saints Mary of Egypt, Moses the Ethiopian, and Dismas, the repentant thief who was crucified with Jesus Christ. Therefore, a more complete Orthodox definition of what a saint is, has to do with the way that saints, through their humility and their love of mankind, saved inside them the entire Church, and loved all people. Orthodox belief states that God reveals saints through answered prayers and other miracles. Saints are usually recognised by their local community, often by people wh ...
