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 Rome, in the time of the emperor Alexander, St. Tatiana, martyr, who was torn with iron hooks and combs, thrown to the beasts and cast into the fire, but, having received no injury, was beheaded, and thus went to heaven."[5]
  3. ^ "Theodora was a glorious nun and teacher of the nuns from Alexandria. 'Just as trees require winter and snow in order to bear fruit, so trials and temptations are needed for our life,' spoke this holy woman. She died peacefully at the beginning of the fifth century."[19]
  4. ^ "Bishop of Ravenna in Italy from 452 to 494. He saved his flock from the fury of Attila the Hun and mitigated its lot when the city was taken by Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths."[20] Andreas Agnellus lists only one bishop of Ravenna with this name in the 5th century. Although Agnellus mistakenly assigns events dated to the earlier part of the century to John's office, John's surviving epitaph (CIL 11, 304) states he was bishop 16 Years, ten months and 18 days, and was buried 5 June 494.
  5. ^ Saint Eilian (Eilianus) came from Rome and lived around the 6th century AD. He came to Britain, where he lived as a hermit in the area north of Anglesey, and venerably reposed in peace.
  6. ^ The holy icon of "Panagia Mesopantitissis" was brought to Crete from Constantinople during the Iconoclastic period, in order to save it from the impious fury of the iconoclasts. According to Holy Tradition it was painted by St. Luke the Apostle. During the period of Venetian rule in Crete, it was kept in the Temple of the Holy Apostle Titus in Heraklion. Every Tuesday pious Christians prayed a litany before the holy icon. When Heraklion was captured by the Hagarenes, the Venetians took the venerable icon of the Virgin Mary and transferred it to Venice, where they placed it in the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos of the Salutations, where it has been kept there until today. A copy of the Holy Icon can be found in the Church of the Holy Apostle Titus in Heraklion, where the feast of the Synaxis of this icons is celebrated.
