D.O.M. Saints' Calendar Now Links to 13,123 Saint Articles on Factograf

By · · 2 min read

In six days of October 2026, the Factograf encyclopedia published 156,977 language versions of articles on Christian saints, and D.O.M.'s Saints' Calendar no longer sends readers to Wikipedia.

A reader opens the commemoration day of a saint in the Calendar and follows the link. Previously, it led to Wikipedia. Now it opens an article in the multilingual Factograf encyclopedia, in the reader's own language. In total, Factograf has published articles on 13,123 Christian saints.

Six Days and Twelve Languages

Publication ran from 18 to 23 October 2026. During that time, the articles acquired 156,977 language versions in 12 languages: English, Ukrainian, Russian, German, Polish, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Czech, Japanese and Chinese.

Saints immediately became the largest section of Factograf's own library. The library holds 19,682 articles and 235,473 language versions in total, so saints account for about two-thirds of its articles. Another major section is devoted to 4,389 key topics of the year drawn from the ten largest language Wikipedias.

An Encyclopedia Built for Reading

Besides its own articles, Factograf displays in its layout any of roughly 340 language Wikipedias. The project's motto is “The encyclopedia, made readable”. Readers can write articles themselves and suggest edits.

Factograf is part of Haydamax Laboratory, a unit of the Haydamax holding company where startups are developed.

The Church as a Platform

D.O.M. calls itself a Christian social platform and describes itself as “a church built as a technology platform”. It includes a feed, chats and calls, sacraments, video and a directory of churches. The Saints' Calendar is also part of the platform.
