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"). - ↑ "A homily, which is written in the form of a Vita by John Mauropous, metropolitan of Euchaita, on St. Dorotheos the Younger, gives the information that the monastery of Chryse Petra was not very far from Chiliokomon (the plain with a thousand towns, today Sulu-ova = the plain of the waters) where St. Dorotheos had restored the ancient monastery of Holy Trinity and had received the typikon of the monastery of Chryse Petra: ...καί της χρυσής καλούμενης πέτρας (ούδ' εκείνη δε πόρρω). This short reference reveals that the monastery of Chryse Petra was near Chiliokomon, and in a wider sense, near the Iris river."[12]
- ↑ "At Rome, in the time of Antoninus Pius, St. Telesphorus, pope, who, after many sufferings for the confession of Christ, underwent a glorious martyrdom."[8]
- ↑ "At Rome, the holy virgin Emiliana, aunt of pope St. Gregory. Being called to God by her sister Tharsilla, who had preceded her, she departed for heaven on this day."[8]
- ↑ "Born in Tipperary in Ireland, she was abbess of two convents, one at Kilkeary and the other at Tech Telle, now Tehelly."
- ↑ "Born in Brittany, he became a monk and founded the Monastery of St Saviour near Redon (Redon Abbey). He was driven out of his monastery by the Vikings and reposed in exile."
- ↑ "Younger brother of St Adalbert of Prague and also a monk at the monastery of Sant' Alessio on the Aventine in Rome. He escaped the massacre in which his brother was martyred by the pagan Prussians and in 1000 became first Archbishop of Gnesen in Poland."
