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"). - ↑ There is another Saint "Theoctistus of Palestine" (+451) commemorated on September 3;[6][7] and, a Saint "Theoctistus of Sicily" (+800) commemorated on January 4.[8][9]
- ↑ The Codex Athous Lavrensis (8th/9th century) states that St, Nicephorus was the Igumen of the Monastery of Ephapsios, and reposed in peace.[11]
- ↑ Under her direction the monastery prospered and attracted princesses, including Saint Ethelfleda (Elfleda, c. 970, (Oct 23), daughter of Earl Ethelwold), who became a nun there and eventually abbess after St Merewenna.
- ↑ The Crusaders demanded that the Iveron monks convert to Catholicism and acknowledge the primacy of the Roman pope. But the monks condemned their fallacies and anathematized the doctrine of the Catholics. According to the Patericon of Athos, the Iveron monks were forcibly expelled from their monastery. Nearly two hundred elderly monks were goaded like animals onto a ship that was subsequently sunk in the depths of the sea. The younger, healthier monks were deported to Italy and sold as slaves to the Jews. Some sources claim this tragedy took place in the year 1259, while others record that the Georgian monks of the Holy Mountain were subject to the Latin persecutions over the course of four years, from 1276 to 1280.[29]
