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]

It is true that, in the Catholic Church, Old Testament figures have not been formally canonized and given the title of 'saint.' ... The 'Roman Martyrology,' a compilation of those honored as saints, includes such notable Old Testament figures as Isaiah, Abraham, and King David.
