List of Old Covenant saints in the Roman Martyrology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Roman Martyrology, which is a non-exhaustive list of saints venerated by the Catholic Church, includes the following feast days[1] for saints who died before Pentecost, and therefore are considered saints of the Old Covenant.[2] Unlike modern saints, these Biblical figures did not go through any formal process of canonization.[3]

New Testament

Although these saints are from the New Testament, they are nevertheless considered "Old Covenant" saints, because they died before the inauguration of the Catholic Church at Pentecost.[citation needed]
