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. ^ One of the Seventy Apostles, he was the third Pope of Rome. Consecrated by the Apostle Peter, he is mentioned in Philippians 4,3 and wrote a letter to the Church of Corinth which still exists. He is venerated as a martyr and he is remembered in Rome by the church of San Clemente, which may have been built on the site of his home. (In the East: Jan 4, Apr 22, Sept 10 and Nov 25).[6]
  3. ^ "At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, St. Mercury, soldier, who vanquished the barbarians and triumphed over the cruelty of Decius through the protection of his guardian angel. Finally, having acquired great glory from his sufferings, he was crowned with martyrdom and went to reign forever in heaven."[9] Name days celebrated today include:
    • Merkourios (Μερκούριος);
    • Mercurius / Mercury.
  4. ^ The region known as the "Mercurion" (it) in Southern Italy, within the Pollino massif of the Southern Apennines, on the Calabrian-Lucanian border, was a territory where Eastern Greek monasticism flourished for many centuries. Generally, the origin of this name is thought to refer either to the existence of an ancient temple of the god Mercury, or alternatively, to the cult paid by the monks to Saint Mercurius, being a very popular cult in southern Italy during the Middle Ages.[10][11]
    The beginnings of the Mercurion in the sixth century and its subsequent evolution is related to several reasons, including the iconoclastic crisis, and the Arab conquest of Syria and Egypt in the sixth century, and of Sicily in the ninth century. The period of maximum splendor of this area was reached in the X-XI centuries, in which the Mercurion was called the "New Thebaid",[12] becoming one of the major centers of mysticism.
  5. ^ "THE birthday of St. Catharine, virgin and martyr, under the emperor Maximinus. For the confession of the Christian faith, she was cast into prison at Alexandria, and afterwards endured a long scourging with whips garnished with metal, and finally ended her martyrdom by decapitation. Her body was miraculously conveyed by angels to Mount Sinai, where pious veneration is paid to it by a great concourse of Christians."[9] Name days celebrated today include:
    • Catherine (Κατερίνα).
  6. ^ This St. Peter should not be confused with the other St. Peter of Galatia (9th century), who is commemorated on October 9.
  7. ^ "At Rome, St. Moses, priest and martyr, who, with others detained in prison, was often consoled by the letters of St. Cyprian. After he had withstood with unbending courage not only the Gentiles, but also the Novatian schismatics and heretics, he was finally, in the persecution of Decius, crowned with a martyrdom which fills the mind with admiration, according to the words of pope St. Cornelius."[9]
