Please note that I may get things wrong or summarize things for simplicity. For better info check out my list of great websites linked here. I also want to mention that this list will never be able to be complete due to the vast amount of saints and figures as well as my lazyness.
P.S: This listing also includes non-canonical figures and ones from various Abrahamic Faiths!
