    The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar").
  2. ^ In today’s hymns at Vespers, the Mother of God is praised as "only created being to pass from earth to heaven in the flesh."[3]
  3. ^ Third "Feast of the Savior" in August.
  4. ^ Name days celebrated today include:
    • Diomedes (Διομήδης).
  5. ^ "At Nicaea, in Bithynia, St. Diomedes, physician, who underwent martyrdom for the faith of Christ by being beheaded, during the persecution of Diocletian."[9]
  6. ^ Name days celebrated today include:
    • Alcibiades (Ἀλκιβιάδης).
  7. ^ His commemoration is noted in the Jerusalemitic Canonarion (p. 103), without any details about his life. He was likely one of the Archbishops of the throne of Jerusalem.
  8. ^ "At Ferentino, in Campania, St. Ambrose, centurion. In the persecution of Diocletian, he was subjected to different kinds of tortures, and finally passing through fire without injury, was cast into the water, and thus reached the place of eternal rest."[9]
  9. ^ "At Rome, St. Titus, deacon, who, when the city was taken by the Goths, was put to death by a barbarous tribune, whilst distributing money to the poor."[9]
  10. ^ Born in the south of Wales, he was a cousin of St Samson. A church in Cornwall was dedicated to him - St Erme. He went to Brittany and founded Saint-Armel-des-Boscheaux and Plou-Ermel (Ploermel).
  11. ^ "At Milan, the demise of St. Simplician, bishop, renowned by the testimony given of him by St. Ambrose and St. Augustine."[9]
  12. ^ On the death of his father, Geza (997), Stephen became King of Hungary. He had married Gisela, a sister of the Emperor Henry II in 995, and they set about enlightening their people. Stephen gradually welded the Magyars into national unity. He organised dioceses and founded monasteries (among them Pannonhalma, which still exists). The declining years of St Stephen were darkened by many misfortunes and difficulties, though he never ceased to be just, kind and merciful. To this day the Magyars consider him their greatest national saint and hero.
  13. ^ Born Nikolaos Lascaris, son of John Lascaris, the brother of Emperor Theodore I Laskaris), monk, († late 13th / early 14th century), August 16.
  14. ^ On November 27, 2013 the Sacred Metropolis of Lagada, Liti and Rendini organized the canonization of Saints Akakios and Damaskinos the Studite, who were both Bishops of Liti and Rendini in the 15th and 16th centuries. The feast of Saint Akakios will be celebrated on August 16th and Saint Damaskinos will be celebrated on November 27th. Metropolitan John of Lagada, Liti and Rendini submitted the names of these newly-glorified Saints to be included in the Synaxarion of the Orthodox Church, and with the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarchate this took place in the Sacred Church of Saint Athanasios in Liti. The Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Church of Greece were represented by Metropolitan Anthimos of Thessaloniki during the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, who was among many hierarchs, priests, monks, government officials and faithful celebrating the first feast of Saint Damaskinos the Studite.[24]
