Notes
[edit]- ^ 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"). - ^ The Church honours Saint Lydia as "Equal-to-the-Apostles."[1]
- ^ It appears that certain monasteries honoured Saint Thalelaeus' feast day on September 3, and others on August 23, the day on which he was brought to trial.[2]
- ^ Not to be confused with Thalassius of Syria (February 22).[9]
- ^ Saint Plautilla is regarded as the mother of Saint Domitilla (May 12).
- ^ Saint Anastasius greatly contributed to the conversion of the Lombards from Arianism.
- ^ Red partisans took Fr. Pavel and interrogated him in the local elementary school. As a condition of his release, Fr. Pavel was asked to declare that he had deceived people with a made-up God and to publicly remove his cross and cassock. He firmly declared that he would never renounce God and that he was ready to accept death for his faith in Christ. Fr. Pavel was martyred on the feast of Pentecost, June 2, in 1919. Seriously wounded after being shot, he was left to die in the forest near Nikitovka.)[23]
- ^ She suffered martyrdom under communism on June 2, 1938.[26]
- ^ According to the Great Synaxaristes, the holy relics were taken from Myra in Lycia on April 1 1087, and arrived in Bari on May 20.
