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. ^ "At Alexandria, St. Abilius, bishop, who was the second pastor of that city after St. Mark, and administered his charge with eminent piety."[3]
  3. ^ A Greek who was Pope of Rome for ten years and was martyred under Hadrian.[6]
  4. ^ "At Hierapolis, in Phrygia, blessed Papias, bishop of that city, who had been, with St. Polycarp, a disciple of St. John in his old age."[3]
  5. ^ This may be the same person as "Martyr Synesius (Synetus) of Rome, a Reader, tortured and beheaded for refusing to sacrifice to idols (270-275)", who celebrates on December 12.
  6. ^ Western sources mention a Saint Aristion as being a disciple of Christ and one of the Seventy disciples (1st century). [12] The Roman Martyrology has the following:
    • "At Salamis, in Cyprus, St. Aristion, who the same Papias says was one of the seventy-two disciples of Christ."[3]
  7. ^ "At Vienna, St. Paschasius, bishop, celebrated for his learning and holy life."[3]
  8. ^ Consecrated Bishop of Ravenna in Italy in 546, he built the Basilica of San Vitale, which was dedicated in the presence of the Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora. Holding a jewelled cross, he is depicted in mosaics standing next to the Emperor.
  9. ^ "JOHN was one of those learned men whom King Alfred invited from the Continent to labour for the restoration of religion and learning in England, after the devastation of the Danes. He was a native of Old Saxony or Friesland, but appears to have been a monk of some house in France, when he was called to this country. The King placed him as Abbot of Athelingay, a monastery which he was anxious to restore, as a pious memorial of his own days of exile in that region. John was zealous for religious discipline, a thing little in accordance with the inclination of certain French monks, who formed part of the community. Two of these were so blinded by their malice as to conspire to put him to death, and accomplished their wicked design one night in the church itself, whither the holy man had retired, as was his custom, to pray in solitude and silence."[27]
  10. ^ In the twelfth century, a great domed church was built on the spot where the relics of the holy martyrs were discovered. This work was undertaken by the Emperor Andronikos I Komnenos (1183-1185), whose patron saint was the holy Apostle Andronicus.
  11. ^ Dismissal Hymn. Fourth Tone.
    "THY Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful."[34]
