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. ^ The third day of the Nativity is dedicated to the Protomartyr St Stephen. This is the third day of the three-day Winter Pascha.[2]
  3. ^ He participated in the Synod of Antioch against the teachings of Paul of Samosata.[6]
  4. ^ "At Alexandria, St. Maximus, bishop, who became a renowned and distinguished confessor of the faith."[7]

  6. ^ Brother of St. Theophanes the Confessor and Hymnographer.
  7. ^ "At Constantinople, the holy confessors Theodore and Theophanes, brothers, who were brought up from their childhood in the Monastery of St. Sabbas. Afterwards, combating bravely for the worship of holy images against Leo the Armenian, they were scourged by his command and banished. After his death, they again firmly opposed the emperor Theophilus, who was imbued with the same impiety, and were scourged a second time and driven into exile, where Theodore expired in prison. Theophanes, after peace had at length been restored to the Church, was made bishop of Nicea and rested in the Lord."[7]
