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]
Old Testament
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]
