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"). - ^ He followed St Desideratus as Bishop of Besançon in France and by tradition was martyred by Arians.
- See: (in French) Germain de Besançon. Wikipédia. (French Wikipedia).
- ^ "At Besancon, in France, St. Germanus, bishop and martyr."[14]
- ^ "At Uzes, in Narbonese Gaul, St. Firminus, bishop and confessor."[14]
- ^ c.525-c.599. Born in the north of Ireland, he was a disciple of St Finian of Clonard and St Cadoc in Wales. He founded the monastery of Agahaboe and perhaps of Kilkenny, which is named after him. He later preached in Scotland where he was the first to build a church in the place now known as St Andrews.
- ^ "ST. CANICE, or KENNETH, came to Britain from Ireland, his native country, and placed himself under the holy discipline of St. Cadoc in Wales, from whom he learned the ways of Christian perfection, and in a special degree the practice of religious obedience. He afterwards returned to his native land, and departed to our Lord at the age of eighty-four. He is honoured as the Patron of Ossory and Kilkenny, his festival being on this day."[16]
- ^ Sister of St Erconwald of London, who helped found the convent of Barking in Essex where she became abbess.
- ^ A monk at Jouarre in France with Abbot Ado. He went to England and preached in Wessex. When he returned to France, he became Bishop of Paris. He was buried at Jouarre Abbey, where his tomb is still preserved.
- ^ "At Rennes, St. Æmilian, confessor."[14]
- ^ See: (in French) Abbaye de Pavilly. Wikipédia. (French Wikipedia).
- ^ After long and patient endurance of worldly perversity, he reposed as a hermit. The present town of Lierre (Lier) in Belgium grew up around his hermitage.
- ^ "At Lier, in Belgium, the departure from this life of St. Gummarus, confessor."[14]
- ^ We have no details about St. Theophanes. However Venerable Jonah is described as one of the "300 Allemagne Saints" in Cyprus. The 300 Allemagne Saints came to Cyprus from Palestine, and lived as ascetics in various parts of the island. According to some of their lives in the Great Synaxaristes, after the dissolution of the Second Crusade (1147 - 1149), they decided to live the monastic life in the Jordan desert. However since the Latins there disturbed them, they relocated to Cyprus and dispersed over the island.[22][23]
- ^ His memory is also observed on July 10, on the "Synaxis of the Saints of Vatopaidi."
- ^ See: (in Russian) Иувеналий (Масловский). Википе́дия. (Russian Wikipedia):
- "В конце 2012 года стало известно, что имя священномученика Иувеналия (Масловского), в числе 36 новомучеников, было исключено из общецерковного календаря на 2013 год без каких-либо объяснений со стороны официальных структур Русской православной церкви; при этом решения о его деканонизации не выносилось[8] ни Священным Синодом, ни прошедшем в феврале 2013 года Архиерейским Собором (они только могут выносить решения о (де)канонизации от лица всей Церкви)."
- ^ At the fourth session of the Seventh Ecumenical Council (in 787), Saint Peter, Bishop of Nicomedia, in defending the necessity of icon veneration, presented an account of Saint Athanasius about a miracle which occurred in the city of Beret, Phoenecia.
