=============================================================

There are very few deaths of the early Christian saints recorded in the New Testament, let alone prayers to those saints.   (As a matter of fact, there are very few actual prayers recorded in the New Testament period.)

Your questions do trigger a couple other questions though:

• Where in the Bible does it say something has to be in the Bible before you can do it?

• Does the Bible explicitly tell you that you can post on the internet?   If not, why do you do it?

Let me refer you to a good document that discusses praying to the saints:
