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"). - ↑ "AT Neocaesarea, in Pontus, the birthday of St. Gregory, bishop, illustrious by his learning and sanctity. The prodigies and miracles which he wrought to the great glory of the Church gained for him the surname of Wonder-worker."[5]
- ↑ He is not listed in the Synaxaria, but is found in Parisian Codex 1578. He may be one and the same as the Martyr Saktus / Sanctus (July 25).
- ↑ His memory is preserved in the Synaxarion of Delahaye, noting that he was an ascetic on Mt. Olympos in Bithynia. He may be the same individual as John the Monk, who was known for the sanctity of his life, under Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos (919-944). Emperor Romanos, after his death, sent a sealed epistle to this John the Monk, containing a confession of his sins.
- ↑ "At Cordova, during the same persecution, the holy martyrs Acisclus, and Victoria, his sister, who were most cruelly tortured by order of the governor Dion, and thus merited to be crowned by our Lord for their glorious sufferings."[5]
- ↑ Brother and sister, they were born in Cordoba in Spain and were martyred, probably under Diocletian. Their home was turned into a church. They are the main patron-saints of Cordoba and were venerated throughout Spain and the south of France.
- ↑ "At Florence, St. Eugenius, confessor, deacon of blessed Zenobius, bishop of that city."[5] He had been a disciple of St Ambrose at Milan.
- ↑ He is famous for organising the defence of his city during the invasion of the Huns under Attila. He interceded with the latter on his approach to Orleans, thus saving it.
- ↑ "At Orleans, St. Anian, bishop, whose precious death in the sight of the Lord is attested by frequent miracles."[5]
- ↑ Born in Auvergne in France, he was baptised George Florentius, but took the name Gregory when he became Bishop of Tours in 573. He was a fine bishop and excelled as a historian.
- ↑ Born in Northumbria, she was a relative of King Edwin. Baptised as a child by St Paulinus in 631, at the age of thirty-three she joined the nuns of Hartlepool in Northumberland where soon after she became abbess. Later she became Abbess of Whitby. Her influence was one of the most decisive factors in uniting the Church in seventh century England. Five of her monks became bishops.
