Divine status refers to the elevated position or recognition of a being as god-like or possessing divine qualities. This concept is often found in various religions and mythologies, where deities or divine figures are worshipped and revered. Examples include Zeus in Greek mythology and Jesus Christ in Christianity, both of whom are seen as having extraordinary powers and authority. In many cultures, individuals may also be granted divine status posthumously, often through the process of canonization or deification. This can occur in religions such as Catholicism, where saints are recognized for their holiness and miracles, elevating them to a revered status among followers.
