'''Shrine Worlds''' are [[Imperial]] worlds devoted to a [[Saint]] of the [[Imperium]] and are often named in their honour. These worlds are ruled directly by the [[Adeptus Ministorum]] and attract huge amounts of pilgrims from all over the Imperium. Most shrine worlds usually fall into another category - for example, [[Hagia]] is an [[agri world]] while, [[Herodor]] is a [[Hive World]]. They have a strong relationship with the saint in question, such as being the world of his or her birth or martyrdom.{{Cite This}}
