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. ↑ The Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates St. Shio of Mgvime several times throughout the year:
    • St. John of Zedazeni and his twelve disciples, among whom was St. Shio of Mgvime, are commemorated on May 7;
    • the repose of St. Shio is celebrated on May 9;
    • and on Cheese-fare Thursday the Church celebrates the miracle that, for centuries, occurred every year at St. Shio’s grave.
  3. ↑ Born in Brittany, he became a disciple of St Budoc on Lauren Island and founded the monastery at Landevennec. Several churches in Cornwall are dedicated to him, indicating that the saint had some connection there.
  4. ↑ "This Saint appears to have been born in the Continental Brittany, where he flourished in great sanctity; but his parents were of Great Britain, and consequently in some parts of the island he was venerated as a Saint of the country. In some calendars we find on this day, or on the 26th of February, St. Winwalorus, Bishop, which, it is presumed, is an error of the copyist for Winwalocus, Abbot."[15]
  5. ↑ A monk at Meallet in Auvergne in France, who lived as a hermit in a cave.
  6. ↑ "ST. NONNITA, or NONNA, the mother of St. David, was the daughter of Brechan, Prince of North Wales, and, like all her brothers and several of her sisters, professed the religious state. On one occasion she left her retreat, on a pilgrimage of devotion, and was unhappily seized and exposed to the sacrilegious violence of one of the princes of the country. Thus she became the mother of the illustrious Saint, who was one of the glories of the ancient British Church. There was no doubt as to the innocence of Nonnita; but it was expressly revealed, as well as the sanctity of the child yet unborn, to St. Gildas the elder, as he was preaching in a church, when she was present. She continued for the rest of her days to lead a life of penance and devotion. A chapel was dedicated to her near the Cathedral of St. David's, and the three first days of March were days of special devotion in honour of her son St. David, his companion St. Lily, and herself. In Brittany it has been a constant tradition, that she ended her life in that country, and in the parish of Dirinon. The church of that place is dedicated to St. David and St. Nonnita, and there her relics are said to be preserved. It is said that the Saint's true name was Melarie, and that the surname of Nonna or Nun indicates her religious profession."[15] A chapel and a well near her son's Cathedral still bear her name. Another can be found in Altarnum in Cornwall, where she may have moved and where her relics survived, even though she reposed in Brittany.
  7. ↑ The two are patron-saints of the parishes of Kil-Faile (Kileely) and Kil-Colgan in Galway in Ireland.
  8. ↑ Of noble origin, Anselm became a monk and founded one monastery in Fanano near Modena in Italy and a second one in Nonantola. He attached hospitals and hostels to both.
  9. ↑ "At Bamberg, the empress St. Cunegundes, who preserved her virginity with the consent of her husband, the emperor Henry I. She terminated a life rich in meritorius good deeds with a holy death and worked many miracles afterward."[16]
  10. ↑ "This great hierarch, among his many achievements, restored the Cathedral of St Michael in Kiev where his relics are enshrined. He was glorified a saint by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Kyivan Patriarchate."[21]
