[edit] Question

If anyone can answer the following questions, I would be grateful...

1. Is Tsar Nicholas II called "Saint Nicholas" or "Saint Tsar Nicholas" or what? How are he and the rest of the Russian Imperial family referred to, saint-wise, in Russian and in English?
Tsar-martyr Nikolai or Tsar-martyr Nicholas seem most common (Russian transliterated is Tsar'-muchenik). Royal Passion-bearer also seems to be used in English. Man vyi 07:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
2. Is Charles I called "St. Charles" in the Church of England? Or how is he termed?
St. Charles, King and Martyr, similarly to St. Edward, King and Martyr, seems the most usual dedication where used - but it's not common. Man vyi 07:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks; entered. SigPig 23:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
3. How are saints in the Georgian and Armenian Churches named? For example, ecclesiastically, how are Abgarus of Edessa, Tiridates III, and David IV styled?
4. Can anyone independently confirm that Eric IX of Sweden's cultus was repressed by Pope Alexander III due to a dispute with his son Knud? All the sites I find seem to get their info from Wikipedia.
5. Are there any churches in Thuringia dedicated to Ludwig IV of Thuringia? If so, what denomination are they?

Thnaks in advance to all helpers. SigPig 04:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
