Handel on Calendar of Saints (Lutheran)
It is not so much than Handel is a "saint" but that he is commemorated as an important musician in the Lutheran tradition. Lutherans don't pray to St. Handel, nor are there any churches names for him (e.g., St. Handel Lutheran Church). In most articles that mention that an individual is commemorated by a Church but who are not though of as "saints" in the popular sense, it is typically noted with "X is commemorated in Y Church on Z." -- jackturner3 (talk) 21:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
