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. "On the third day of the Afterfeast of the Dormition, the hymns at Vespers call upon us to "sing the praises of the pure and most holy Virgin." She did not ascend to heaven in a chariot of fire, as did the Prophet Elias, but "He Who is truly the Sun of Righteousness" received her pure soul." [2]
  3. Name days celebrated today include:
    • Florus (Φλῶρος);
    • Flora (Φλώρα).
  4. "In Dalmatia, the holy martyrs Florus and Laurus, stonecutters, who, after the martyrdom of Proculus and Maximus, their employers, were subjected to many torments under the governor Licion, and plunged into a deep well." [6]
  5. "When the construction of the temple was completed, the brothers gathered the Christians together, and going through the temple, they smashed the idols. In the eastern part of the temple they set up the holy Cross. They spent all night in prayer, illumined with heavenly light. Having learned of this, the head of the district condemned to burning the former pagan priest Mamertin and his son and 300 Christians." [4]
  6. "In the same city, the holy martyrs Hernias, Serapion, and Polyaenus. Being dragged through narrow, stony, and craggy places, they yielded up their souls to God." [6]
  7. The Book of Saints compiled by the Benedictine Monks of St. Augustine's Abbey, Ramsgate (1921), has the following two entries for these saints:
    • "AEMILIAN (St.) Bp. M. (Feb. 8). "Some writers, however, identify this St. AEmilian with another Martyr of the same name, likewise an Armenian, venerated at Trebbia (Trevi) in Central Italy, as first Bishop of that city (4th century). [13]
    • DIONYSIUS, AEMILIAN and SEBASTIAN (SS.) MM. (Feb. 8). (Date unknown). "The Roman Martyrology describes them as Armenian monks; but there have been disputes among the learned as to the nationality of some of them. In reality we are no longer in possession of anything like adequate evidence bearing on their date, lives or martyrdom." [14]
  8. Possibly the same saint as is commemorated on December 21.
  9. Possibly the same saint as is commemorated on February 18.
  10. "AT Palestrina, the birthday of the holy martyr Agapitus. Although only fifteen years of age, as he was fervent in the love of Christ, he was arrested by order of the emperor Aurelian, and scourged a long time. Afterwards, under the prefect Antiochus, he endured more severe torments, and being delivered to the lions by the emperor's order without receiving any injury, he was finally struck with the sword, and thus merited his crown." [6] He is the patron-saint of Palestrina, where as early as the fifth century a church was dedicated to him.
  11. "At Rome, during the persecution of Diocletian, the blessed John and Crispus, priests, who charitably buried the bodies of many saints, and afterwards becoming partakers of their merits, they deserved the joys of eternal life." [6]
