AHC: Protestant Church that honors the Virgin Mary

In a POD after 1517 (The 95 Theses), There must be a Protestant church (or more than one) that venerates Jesus's mother much like the Catholics did.

Bonus points if they also venerate saints.
 
Anglican chruch is probably your best bet. Its hard for Protestants to be big on Mary as there is very little written about her in the New Testament.

Plus the strain that runs through Protestantism that veneration of saints = idolatry. I'm not sure how prevalent that was in the early Protestantism, but I know it existed.
"(t)he distinction of what is called dulia and latria was invented for the very purpose of permitting divine honours to be paid to angels and dead men with apparent impunity."
-- John Calvin.
