The cult of Saints

Apart from Catholicism (and, in the past, Anglo-Saxon Christianity), are there any other confessions that allow or encourage the cult of Saints? Can it be considered as a sort of paganism? Edit: I explicitly mentioned the Roman Catholic church. I thought you are aware that in Italy, the nation of Catholicism, the vast majority of people are devoted to, lay their faith in and address their prayers not to the Lord and to HEAVEN, but to ordinary men like San Gennaro , San Nicola, whose blood and shins they venerate and trust. This is the cult of Saints, which has substituted the faith in The Lord
