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. ^ The Synaxis of the Seventy Apostles in celebrated on January 4.[2]
  3. ^ Two other sources list the feast day of Saint Dodo (disciple of Saint David of Georgia) as May 20:
    But both sources are not Orthodox: first is the site of non-canonical dissident schism, second is the site of non-Chalcedon Syriac Church
  4. ^ She is also commemorated on July 7, the day of her repose.
  5. ^ The Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate formally canonized Nicolas Basdanis as a saint of the Universal Church on November 28, 1988. He is commemorated on that date, and on that of his martyrdom - May 17.
  6. ^ Fr. Jonah, a married priest, did his all-night Akathist vigils daily from midnight to daybreak. His prayers cured the blind and cast out demons from the possessed. When Moscow doctors told an Odessa mother they could do nothing for her son who was born blind, St. Jonah prayed over his bed all night for nine days and on the morning of the tenth day, the boy could see with 20/20 vision. St. Jonah was taken to court by the Bolsheviks but the chief ophthalmologist of Moscow came to his defence. A great man of prayer, he is also highly venerated in Romania and elsewhere.[15]
  7. ^ Following the Sassanid King Khosrau II's early 7th-century push into the Byzantine Empire, advancing through Syria, the Sassanid Generals Shahrbaraz and Shahin attacked the Byzantine-controlled city of Jerusalem. They were aided by the Jews of Palestine, who had risen up against the Byzantines.[27] According to the account by the 7th-century monk Antiochus Strategos, Abbott of the Great Lavra of St. Sabbas the Sanctified, the total number of Christian martyrs "was 66,509 souls";[27] according to the account in the Great Synaxaristes of the Orthodox Church the total was "80,000" Christian martyrs.[26]
