The Venerable very often called "the Venerable Bede" despite having been canonized in 1899. This is also the honorific used for hermits of the Carthusian Order, in place of the usual term of "Reverend". In the Anglican Communion, "The Venerable" (abbreviated as "the Ven.") is the style usually given to an archdeacon. In the Orthodox Church the term "Venerable" is commonly used as the English-language translation of the title given to monastic saints (Greek: "Hosios", Church Slavonic: "Prepodobni"; both Greek and Church Slavonic forms are masculinum). A monastic saint who was martyred for the Orthodox faith is referred to as "Venerable Martyr".
