Notes

[edit]
  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. ^ "At Antioch, in Pisidia, the holy martyrs Mark, shepherd, Alphius, Alexander, and Zosimus, his brothers, Nicon, Neon Heliodorus, and thirty soldiers, who were converted to Christ on seeing the miracles of blessed Mark, and were crowned with martyrdom in different places and in various manners."[11]
  3. ^ Prince of the Czechs, he was brought up in the Orthodox Faith by his grandmother, the future martyr Ludmilla. During a pagan reaction in 922, which he tried to stop through patience and mildness, he too was martyred as a result of a political conspiracy. He is the patron saint of the Czech Republic.[16]
  4. ^ "IN Bohemia, St. Wenceslas, duke of Bohemia and martyr, renowned for holiness and miracles. Being murdered in his brother's house, he went triumphantly to heaven."[11]
  5. ^ "At Rome, St. Privatus, martyr, who was cured of ulcers by the blessed pope Callistus. For the faith of Christ he was scourged to death with leaded whips, in the time of the emperor Alexander."[11]
  6. ^ "In the same place, St. Stacteus, martyr."[11]
  7. ^ "In Africa, the Saints Martial, Lawrence, and twenty other martyrs."[11]
  8. ^ He was noted for his generosity in sending large contributions to the poor in Palestine and Egypt.
  9. ^ "At Toulouse, St. Exuperius, bishop and confessor. St. Jerome bears to this blessed man a memorable testimony, relating how severe he was towards himself and how liberal towards others."[11]
  10. ^ Born in Rome, she was the third daughter of St Paula. She joined her mother in Bethlehem and succeeded her mother as abbess of a convent in Bethlehem in 404.
  11. ^ "The same day, the holy virgin Eustochium, daughter of blessed Paula, who was brought up at the manger of our Lord with other virgins, and being celebrated for merits, went to our Lord."[11]
  12. ^ Born in Brittany, Faustus became a monk at Lérins in France and later abbot (433). In about 459 he became Bishop of Riez. He fought both Arianism and Pelagianism and was very influential, maintaining the Orthodox teaching of St Cassian.
  13. ^ Born in Scotland, he became a monk in Ireland.
  14. ^ Abbess of Wimborne in Dorset in England. She helped St Boniface by sending him nuns from her 500-strong convent, among whom were Sts Lioba and Thecla.
  15. ^ "ST. TETTA, Virgin and Abbess, was the spiritual mother of St. Lioba and St. Thecla, and the friend and correspondent of St. Boniface. This holy virgin governed the double Monastery of Wimborne, in such perfection, that both communities were renowned for their sanctity of life. She was so rigorous in enforcing the enclosure in the women's monastery, that not even prelates were allowed to enter; but while she insisted on the observance of discipline, she was most careful to promote a spirit of true charity among her daughters, who at one time numbered 500, and to encourage study as well as piety. Even during her lifetime many miracles were attributed to her intercession by her devoted children. The day of her death does not seem to be known; but in some calendars her memory is kept on the 12th August, and in others on the 17th December."[20]
  16. ^ "In Germany, St. Lioba, virgin, renowned for miracles."[11]
  17. ^ A relative of St Boniface, St Lioba became a nun at Wimborne. In 748, at the request of St Boniface, she left England for Germany together with a group of nuns and became Abbess of Bischoffsheim. She was greatly loved by her nuns. St Lioba's convents were one of the most important factors in the conversion of Germany.
  18. ^ "ST. LlOBA, otherwise called LlOBGYTHA and TRUTHGEBA, was a kinswoman of the Martyr St. Boniface, and the offspring of parents, who had remained childless till the approach of old age. In gratitude for this gift of God, they committed their child in her early infancy to the care of Tetta, the holy Abbess of Wimborne...Through a remarkable dream, interpreted by a pious religious of the house, it was made known to her, that God destined her for some great work in His service; and the revelation was accomplished, when St. Boniface wrote to the Abbess to request that Lioba might be sent to him in Germany, to take the direction of the monastery for women, which he was founding at Bischoffsheim...Strict as she was in enforcing the observance of St. Benedict's rule, still she was compassionate with the infirmities of all, and watched them with the eye of a tender mother... ...So loving an abbess was gladly obeyed: her word and example were a law, to which all paid a cheerful submission, and the Monastery of Bischoffsheim became a school of religious perfection, from which other communities sought to obtain superiors for themselves."[20]
  19. ^ Venerable Auxentius was one of the "300 Allemagne Saints" in Cyprus and their leader. The 300 Allemagne Saints came to Cyprus from Palestine, and lived as ascetics in various parts of the island. Included among the "300 Allemagne Saints" are:
