Notes

  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. Julius was a priest and his brother Julian a deacon. Together they converted heathen temples into Christian churches. [15]
  3. Saint Athanasius was born in Catania in Sicily, during the invasion of the Saracens he fled to Patras in Greece, where he became a monk and eventually a bishop (ca. 885) [15]
  4. He gave refuge to St Athanasius the Great when he came through Italy on his way to exile in Gaul. Geminian bravely opposed Jovinianism.
  5. A noblewoman of Rome, as a widow she turned her home into a house-church and she devoted herself to prayer and almsgiving. When Alaric sacked Rome, Marcella was cruelly scourged as the Goths thought that she had hidden her wealth. In reality she had already distributed it to the poor. She died shortly after from the effects of this treatment.
  6. "MAEDOC, who is also called AIDUS or AIDAN, and in English Hugh, belonged to an illustrous family in Ireland. He was granted to the prayers of his parents, who had lived for a length of time without children. The early piety of Maedoc attracted attention, and even then a number of youths desired to place themselves under his guidance. To escape those tokens of respect, he fled from his own country and took refuge with St. David at his monastery in Wales. In that retreat he was trained in the practices of the religious life, and gave evidence of his sanctity by various miracles, which he performed. With the blessing of his holy master he returned to Ireland, founded several religious houses, and was consecrated Bishop of Ferns. It was in his episcopal See that he gave up his soul to God." [17]
  7. While denouncing godlessness, he was struck with a scythe and killed. As a result he was venerated as a martyr.
  8. Also celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of Pascha, the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women.
