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. "The same day, St. Calliopa, martyr, who, for the faith of Christ, had her breasts cut off, her flesh burned, was rolled on broken pottery, and being lastly decapitated, received the palm of martyrdom." [4]
  3. "THIS martyr, according to the Greek Menaea, was as beautiful in soul as she was in body. Her breasts were cut off, she was dragged over potsherds, then salt was rubbed into her wounds, and they were fretted with hair-cloth. As none of these tortures shook her constancy, her head was struck off." [5]
  4. Name days celebrated today include:
    • Kalliope, Kalliopi, Popi (Καλλιόπη).
  5. In the West on June 17. [7]
  6. An aristocrat of Rome who visited the Holy Land, founding a monastery on the Mount of Olives. [12]
  7. "AT Aix, in France, St. Maximin, first bishop of that city, who is said to have been a disciple of our Lord." [4]
  8. A saint honoured in Sardinia from time immemorial. By some he is described as a martyr, by others as a hermit.
  9. He was present in the Cathedral in Rheims at the baptism of Clovis and built the monastery of St John the Evangelist in Sens.
  10. Saint Severinus was Bishop of Septempeda, now called after him Sanseverino in the Marches of Ancona in Italy. He and his brother Victorinus distributed their wealth among the poor and became hermits at Montenero. They were forced by Pope Vigilius to become bishops, the former of Septempeda, the latter of Camerino. Severinus reposed shortly before Septempeda was destroyed by the Ostrogoth Totila. [12]
  11. Born in Picardy in the north of France, he was ordained at the age of thirty-three. In 530 he became Bishop of Vermand, later Noyon and then Tournai in Belgium.
  12. "At Soissons, in France, the birthday of St. Medard, bishop of Noyon, whose life and precious death are illustrated by glorious miracles." [4]
  13. "The Roman Martyrology says: — "At Rouen, S. Gildard, or Godard, B., brother of S. Medard, B. of Noyon. They were born the same day, consecrated bishops the same day, and dying the same day, ascended to heaven together." This is a mistake. It can be conclusively proved that S. Medard died about thirty-four years later than S. Godard, and that there is no ancient authority for saying they were brothers. The lives of S. Medard are silent on the subject, even one written in the 11th cent. S. Godard subscribed the 1st council of Orleans, as B. of Rouen, In 511, and S. Medard was consecrated in 530. One is surprised to see that Giry and Guerin take no notice of this complete annihilation of the fable of the relationship of these two saints, but give them as brothers born the same day, consecrated the same day, and dying the same day, with sublime superiority to criticism and historical accuracy."

  19. The Michaelion was one of the earliest and most famous sanctuaries dedicated to Archangel Michael in the Roman Empire. According to tradition, it was built in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306-337) over an ancient pagan temple. The pagan temple which had existed there had been previously associated with healing and medicine, and the Christians continued to associate the location and the Michaelion with healing waters. Michaelion was a magnificent church and became a model for hundreds of other churches in Eastern Christianity. It also had a chapel dedicated to the Theotokos.
  20. Father John was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia in 1964, and by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1990. Archbishop John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco (later also glorified as a Saint) played an active role in preparation of St. John's canonization.
