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. ^ "In Phrygia, St. Adaucus, martyr, an Italian of noble birth, who was honored by the emperors with almost every dignity. Whilst he was still discharging the office of quaestor, he was judged worthy of the crown of martyrdom for his defence of the faith."[10]
  3. ^ Name days celebrated today include:
    • Parthenios (Παρθένιος);
    • Parthenia, Parthena (Παρθενία, Παρθένα).
  4. ^ Kontakion. Fourth Tone. "God, Who by judgments known to Him chose thee ere thou wast formed that thou, O Luke, mightest be right well-pleasing unto Him, from the womb made thee His own and He sanctified thee; as His own true faithful servant hath He shown thee forth and hath set aright thy footsteps, ever guiding thee as the Friend of man; thou rejoicest before Him now."[17]
  5. ^ He is recorded in the Synaxarion of Constantinople.
  6. ^ He is not mentioned in the Synaxaria. His memory is recorded in the 'Patmiako' Codex 266.
  7. ^ An early martyr and bishop, probably in France, though some have suggested London in England.[22]
  8. ^ "At London, in England, the birthday of the blessed bishop Augulus, who terminated his career by martyrdom, and deserved to receive an eternal recompense."[10]
  9. ^ "AUGULUS is named on this day in the Roman Martyrology, and in all the ancient calendars, as a bishop, who suffered martyrdom in London. No Acts of his are known to exist; but the conjecture of historians is, that he suffered in the persecution of Diocletian, about the same time as St. Alban."[24]
  10. ^ Having left Armenia during the persecution of Diocletian, he won martyrdom in Flanders. His relics were venerated in Bruges in Belgium.
  11. ^ A matron in Bologna in Italy whose piety and charity were praised by St Ambrose of Milan. Her husband left her to become a priest with her consent and she devoted herself to bringing up her four children and to the service of the Church and the poor.
  12. ^ Bishop Laurence of Siponto witnessed an apparition of the Archangel Michael on Mount Gargano in southern Italy about the year 490 AD, in memory of which the famous Monastery of the Archangel was founded.
  13. ^ Eastern by origin, he travelled to Spain with some merchants and settled in Mérida, where he became a disciple of St Paul, bishop of the city, whom he later succeeded.
  14. ^ "Of this Irish saint and bishop, who left his native land and died at Peronne, nothing is known. His acts have been lost. Yet, at one time he must have been famous, for many churches are dedicated to him. He is sometimes called Medan. In the revelations of S. Fursey, reference is made to S. Meldan."[29]
  15. ^ A noble from the west of England and father of Sts Willibald, Winebald and Walburga. He reposed at Lucca on a pilgrimage to Rome.
