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. ^ Name days today include: "Smaragda" or "Smaragdos" (Emerald), and "Sarantis".[4]
  3. ^ "GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God: that, like as we have known thy glorious Martyrs to be constant in their confession of thy Faith; so we may feel the succour of their loving intercession. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."[7]
  4. ^ His feast day is observed on March 9 in the tradition of Cornwall and Wales; and on March 11[12][13][14] in the Scottish and Irish traditions. Two places in Cornwall are still named after him today.[10]
  5. ^ We ought tentatively to regard it as probable that the saints whose lives have come down to us were really the founders of Greek monasticism in South Italy, and that before their time there were no Greek monasteries in the district. There probably were hermits; but the rise of monasteries does not begin before the end of the ninth century; and the leaders of the monks were Elias Junior (†903), Elias Spelaeotes ("the Cave-Dweller", †c. 960), Lucas of Demena (†984), Vitalis of Castronuovo (†994), and Nilus of Rossano (†1004).[19]
  6. ^ The Albazin Icon of the Mother of God “the Word made Flesh” is of great religious significance in the Amur River region. It received its name from the Russian fortress of Albazin (now the village of Albazino) along the Amur river, founded in the year 1650 by the famous Russian frontier ataman Hierotheus Khabarov on the site of a settlement of the Daurian prince Albaza. For more than 300 years the Wonderworking Albazin Icon of the Mother of God watched over the Amur frontier of Russia.[25]
