Notes
- ↑ 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"). - ↑ The Great Synaxaristes also has another entry for Saint Dmitry Donskoy on May 19,[18] which is confirmed by an entry on the Calendar of a Russian Orthodox parish similarly for May 19.[19]
- ↑ A Ukrainian, St Joseph was a holy Elder in the tradition of St Paisius Velichkovsky (as were the other 13 glorified holy Elders). The Optina Monastery is, in fact, a spiritual fruit of the Ukrainian Paisian spiritual heritage. There are 16 New Venerable Martyrs of Optina of the Soviet era, among whom are also Ukrainians.[23]
- ↑ The Great Synaxaristes also has a longer entry for the New Hieromartyrs of Slobozhanschyna (Slobodskaya), Ukraine, on May 19.[27]
