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"). - ^ A hermit from the East, he was martyred in Dalmatia. A tradition relates that Barypsabas took to Rome a vessel containing some of the precious blood which flowed from the side of our Lord when He was on the cross.[9]
- ^ "In Bithynia, the holy virgins Menodora, Metrodora, and Nymphodora, sisters. Under the emperor Maximian and the governor Fronto, they were crowned with martyrdom, and went to eternal glory."[12]
- ^ The memory of this young girl is recorded in the Jerusalemitic Canonarion, page 107, and is absent from the Synaxaria. Note also, there is an entry on August 4 for "Martyr Eudokia of Anatolia, in Persia, by beheading", which notes that there is some confusion in the Synaxaria between this Eudokia (Eudok-ia) and the martyr Ia.
- ^ "At Constantinople, St. Pulcheria, empress and virgin, distinguished by her piety and zeal for religion."[12]
- ^ Nine bishops of Numidia in North Africa who with numerous other clergy and laypeople were condemned to slavery in the marble quarries of Sigum where they ended their lives. A letter of St Cyprian addressed to them still exists.
- ^ "In Africa, the birthday of the holy bishops Nemesian, Felix, Lucius, another Felix, Litteus, Polyan, Victor, Jader, Dativus, and others. As a violent persecution was breaking out under Valerian and Gallienus, they were at their first courageous confession of Christ beaten with rods, then put in irons, and being sent to dig in the metal mines, they terminated their combat and glorious confession."[12]
- ^ Born near Stangford Lough in Ireland, he became a monk in Scotland. He was the founder and first Abbot of Moville in Co. Down.
- ^ "ST. FlNIAN, or FlNDBAR, who is also called FlNAN, and by the Britons WlNNlN, was a native of Ireland, and of noble birth. He received his first education from Colman, a holy Bishop, and afterwards went over to Britain. Like St. Tigernake, he is called a disciple of Monennius, which probably means that he became a scholar of St. Ninian's great monastery at Whithern, in Strathclyde. On his return to Ireland he became Abbot of Maghbile, and is also called a Bishop. He was greatly famed for his sanctity and extraordinary miraculous gifts. Among other prodigies, he is said to have raised four persons to life. He was anciently honoured as the Patron of the Province of Ulster."[21]
- ^ A lawyer who became a monk and abbot, then a hermit and finally Bishop of Albi in France (574-584). He died while tending the sick during an epidemic.
- ^ A disciple of St Remaclus at Malmédy-Stavelot in Belgium and his successor as Abbot (653) and Bishop of Maastricht (663). He was murdered by robbers in the forest of Bienwald near Speyer in Germany on a journey undertaken in defence of his church.
- ^ "At Liege, in Belgium, St. Theodard, bishop and martyr, who laid down his life for his flock, and after his death was renowned for the gift of miracles."[12]
- ^ He was bishop for twenty-three years, loved the poor and prayed much for the departed.
- ^ "ST. FRITHESTANE is said to have been a disciple f St. Grimbald. His eminent virtues led to his appointment as Bishop of Winchester, and he was one of seven who were consecrated on the same day in the year 909, by Archbishop St. Plegmund, to fill the Sees which were then vacant. He ruled his diocese for the long period of twenty-three years, and is reported to have been a man of great sanctity of life, though no record of his acts has come down to our time. A year before his blessed death he consecrated St. Bristan as his successor, and retired to pass his last days in solitude and prayer."[21]
- ^ "At Compostella, St. Peter, bishop, who was celebrated for his many virtues and miracles."[12]

- ^ The question of the glorification of the Russian Athonite elder Tikhon (Golenkov), the spiritual father of St. Paisios the Athonite, was recently discussed (2017) at the Moscow Theological Academy at the Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra. The discussion occurred as part of the academy’s "Day of the Memory of Two Elders: St. Paisios the Athonite and Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov)", in which the new book Athonite Elder Tikhon (Golenkov) (in Russian) was presented. The hope was expressed that the Church would support the glorification of this great twentieth-century elder, reports a correspondent of the site 'Russian Athos'...Elder Tikhon was born in 1884 in the Russian Empire, in the village of Novaya Mikhaylovka (in present-day Volgograd). At the age of 24 he arrived to Mount Athos where he spent the remaining sixty years of his life in unceasing prayer and repentance. He is an example to all of a true Christian and monk who already in his lifetime acquired the Holy Spirit, and his relics have been shown to be incorrupt.[37]
