Notes

  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. ↑ "IN Persia, the holy martyrs Jonas and Barachisius, under Sapor, king of Persia. Jonas, being pressed in a vice till his bones were broken, was cut in twain; Barachisius was suffocated by burning pitch poured into his throat."[3]
  3. ↑ Armogastes and Saturus, high officers at the palace, suffered in North Africa during the Arian persecution under the Vandal King Genseric. First they were tortured, then sent to hard labour in the mines, finally condemned to slavery as cowherds near Carthage. They were not put to death 'in case the Romans should venerate them as martyrs'.
  4. ↑ "In Africa, under the Arian king Genseric, during the persecution of the Vandals, the holy confessors Armogastes, count, Mascula, Archimimus, and Saturus, master of the king's household. Having endured many severe torments, as well as reproaches, for the confession of the truth, they reached the end of their glorious combats."[3]
  5. ↑ A favourite disciple and monk of St Columbanus, whom he succeeded as second Abbot of Luxeuil in France. There were some six hundred monks there, many of whom became saints.
  6. ↑ "St Marko was of the Kyiv Caves Monastery who came to Pskov to establish a similar monastic establishment there. The history of the Pskov Caves relates that many Kyiv Caves monastics came there, although their names are mostly not recorded for posterity. The Pskov Caves Monastery is a "daughter monastery" of the Kyiv Caves and its saints belong, by right, to the Ukrainian Choir of Saints. A similar monastic establishment founded on the model of the Kyiv Caves Lavra was built by St Dionysius of the Kyiv Caves and Archbishop of Suzdal."[21]
