Notes

The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar").
^ KONDAK, TONE 4:
"Joachim and Anna were freed from the reproach of childlessness, Adam and Eve from the corruption of death, by your holy nativity, O Immaculate One. Your people, redeemed from the guilt of sin, celebrate by crying out to You: The barren woman gives birth to the Theotokos, the Nourisher of our Life."^[7]
^ "THE Nativity of the most Blessed and ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God."^[8]
^ "In the ancient Irish Church, the Festival of the Birth of our Divine Lord's Mother was celebrated on the eighth day of September, as we learn from the Feilire of Aengus. On this there is a short comment. About the year 695, this feast was appointed by Pope Servius. In various parts of Ireland, this festival was celebrated formerly with very special devotion, as parishes, churches and chapels had been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and this was a favoured festival day. The patrons or patterns that until of late were yearly celebrated very conclusively attest it. In Kilnenor parish, County of Wexford, there is a holy well, at which a patron was formerly held on the 8th of September. According to a pious tradition, a concert of angels is said to have been heard in the air to solemnize the Nativity or Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary."^[9]
^ By tradition a saint who came from Scotland but lived in Wales, where churches are dedicated to him.
^ As she was a Christian from Kent, her marriage to King Edwin triggered the initial phase of the conversion of the pagan north of England to Christianity.
^ Born in Ireland, he went to Germany with several companions and founded a monastery on a hill in the valley of the Nahe near Bingen. This became known as Disibodenberg or Disenberg.
^ Of Syrian descent, he was born in Palermo in Sicily. He was Pope of Rome from 687 to 701. He blessed and fostered the missionary work of the English monks in Friesland and Germany.
^ He lived for fourteen years as a hermit and then went to Rome. He was consecrated bishop and went to preach Christ in Germany. He lived in Freising in Bavaria.
^ "At Freisingen, St. Corbinian, first bishop of that city. Being consecrated by Pope Gregory II, and sent to preach the Gospel, he reaped an abundant harvest in France and Germany, and finally renowned for virtues and miracles, rested in peace."^[8]
^ "When Ceadwalla abdicated his kingdom and retired to Rome, he was succeeded by his kinsman INA, who had a long and prosperous reign of 37 years. He was successful in his wars in Kent, East Anglia, and with the Welsh. His wisdom as a legislator is proved by the code of laws which he promulgated, and his piety by the many services he rendered to the Church. In the reign of Ina the diocese of Wessex was divided and the See of Sherborne established, of which St. Aldhelm, the King's friend and counsellor, was the first titular. He also refounded the ancient Abbey of Glastonbury, and endowed that of Malmesbury, as well as other religious houses."^[15]
^ Ina was King of Wessex in England from 688 till 726, and is remembered as the restorer of Glastonbury. In about 726 he abdicated and went to Rome with his wife Ethelburgh, where he ended his days as a monk.
^ "ETHELBURGA was his faithful fellow-worker in all that was good, and she too was gifted with princely qualities. On one occasion, when the town of Taunton had fallen into the hands of rebels, and the King was engaged elsewhere, she wrested it from them and razed it to the ground. Both the King and Queen, however, found these earthly triumphs unsatisfying, and longed for something better. It was under the influence of Ethelburga that their resolution was at last taken, and they forsook their kingdom to seek for peace in a life of devotion in the holy city of Rome. It is not clear that they formally embraced the monastic life, but they laid aside their royal state and persevered in patient expectation of God's good time. Ina is the reputed founder of the English hospice and school in Rome, now represented by the venerable English College, the nursery of so many Martyrs and Missioners in later times, though some have attributed it to Offa, King of Mercia. Probably Ina was really the founder, and Offa, as well as other later kings, its munificent benefactor."^[15]
^ The Translation of his Relics took place in 1824, at the Monastery of St. Ioannes Vazelonos,^[18] near the Argyroupolis region of Pontus.
