The last royal family of Russia are saints with the Russian Orthodox.

Though, as I understand it, there is conflict between the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church headed by the Patriarch as to recognition.

Both ROCOR and the Russian Orthodox Church have put the Romanovs on their calendar as passion-bearers.

Ah, thank you for the correction. My information was outdated by a good 14 years. The Russian Orthodox Church recognised them after the ROCOR did.

Which is normal under the best of circumstances - and those weren’t the best of circumstances.

One Church always leads the way, and the rest follow suit. The issue that came about at that time would have been ROCOR’s uncanonical status at the time, something which wasn’t normalized until a few years ago. Not to mention that the MP adding the Romanovs to the calendar would have been just inviting a crackdown at a time when things were slowly getting better.
 
I find it interesting that Catholics venerate Orthodox saints who rejected Roman Catholicism. Personally I do not mind but considering all the harsh words from both sides…

When Catholics venerate St. Mark of Ephesus, that’ll be interesting.

According to Wikipedia, he appears in the service books of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church. It is as if the Romanians would put Pius IX in their service books, but I guess nothing should surprise us anymore… :juggle:
