'''Imperial Sainthood''' is an honour bestowed upon an individual by the [[Ecclesiarchy]] for acts of great faith and piousness towards the [[Imperial Cult]]. It is usually bestowed posthumously, but sometimes bestowed upon a living person ''(see [[Living Saint]])''.
The Ministorum sometimes petitions to make the popular local heros on a world into minor saints in the hopes that elevating a familiar figure will assist in conversion efforts on the world.{{Fn|4}}
Besides this list, the [[loyalist]] [[Primarch]]s are considered Imperial Saints. [[Macharius (Character)|Macharius]]'s generals during the [[Macharian Crusade]] are considered "apostles" or Imperial Saints.
