Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The notation Old Style or (OS) is sometimes used to indicate a date in the Julian Calendar (which is used by churches on the "Old Calendar").
    The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar").
  2. ^ Saint Antherus, a Greek who was Pope of Rome for only a few weeks. He may have been martyred and was buried in the catacomb of St Callistus, the first Pope to be so. In the West he is commemorated on January 3.[5]
  3. ^ Fabian succeeded St Antherus as Pope of Rome in 236 and was martyred in 250 under Decius. St Cyprian described him as an 'incomparable man' and added that the glory of his death matched the purity and goodness of his life. In the West he is commemorated on January 20.[5]
  4. ^ "At Antioch, St. Eusignius, a soldier, who at the age of one hundred and ten years, because he reproached Julian the Apostate for forsaking the faith of Constantine the Great, under whom he had served, and for having degenerated from his ancestors' piety, was decapitated by his command."[12]
  5. ^ "Also, the holy martyrs Cantidius, Cantidian, and Sobel, Egyptians."[12]
  6. ^ Some hagiographies repeat his memory on July 23.
  7. ^ "At Chalons, in France, St. Memmius, a Roman citizen, who, being consecrated bishop of that city by St. Peter, brought to the truth of the Gospel the people committed to his care."[12]
  8. ^ "Also at Rome, during the persecution of Diocletian, the martyrdom of twenty-three holy martyrs, who were beheaded on the Salarian road, and buried at the foot of Cucumer hill."[12]
  9. ^ "At Ascoli, in the Marches, St. Emygdins, bishop and martyr, who was consecrated bishop by pope St. Marcellus, and sent thither to preach the Gospel. He received the crown of martyrdom for the confession of Christ, under the emperor Diocletian."[12]
  10. ^ "At Augsburg, the birthday of St. Afra, martyr. After being converted from Paganism by the instructions of bishop St. Narcissus, and being baptized with all her household, she was delivered to the flames for the confession of Christ."[12] She was venerated there from early times and the monastery of that city was dedicated to her.
  11. ^ The successor of St Edwin on the throne of Northumbria in England, he was baptised in exile on Iona. In 635 he defeated the Welsh King Cadwalla and so his real reign began. One of his main aims was to enlighten his country and so he called on St Aidan to help him. In 642 he fell in battle at Maserfield fighting against the champion of paganism, Penda of Mercia. He has always been venerated as a martyr and his head is still in St Cuthbert's coffin in Durham.[5]
  12. ^ On August 6, 1123, the Feast of the Transfiguration, St Theoctistus died, and because of the feastday, his memory is kept on August 5.
  13. ^ He was glorified by the Orthodox Church on July 1st, 1982. The date for his commemoration was August 6, but because it coincided with the Feast of the Transfiguration, it was moved to August 5th.
  14. ^ In 1968 and 1970, St John’s book SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT was published in two volumes, with the blessing of Patriarch Benedict of Jerusalem. St John Jacob was glorified by the Romanian Orthodox Church in 1992. See also: (in Romanian) Sfântul Ioan Iacob Românul de la Hozeva. Wikipedia (Romanian Wikipedia).
  15. ^ Saint John the Chozebite was glorified by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem on 31 January, 2016, with his feast day placed on July 28, the date of the translation of his holy relics.[32][33][34]
