    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, the Saints Ampliatus, Urbanus and Narcissus, who are mentioned by St. Paul in his epistle to the Romans. They were put to death by the Jews and Gentiles for the Gospel of Christ." [7]
  3. Martyred by being hung in the middle of the Stoa.
  4. They martyred him by breaking his skull with large stones.
  5. According to tradition, Quentin was born in Rome and went to France. He enlightened the area round Amiens and was martyred at the town now called Saint-Quentin.
  6. "At Saint-Quentin, in France, St. Quinctinus, Roman citizen and senator, who endured martyrdom under the emperor Maximian. By the revelation of an angel, his body was found incorrupt after the lapse of fifty-five years." [7]
  7. Brother of St Uny and St Ia (Ives). He went from Ireland to Cornwall, where a church is dedicated to him, and also gave his name to the village of St Erth.
  8. Brother of Sts Fursey and Ultan. They left Ireland for East Anglia in England. St Foillan became the Abbot of Burgh Castle near Yarmouth but when this monastery was destroyed, he went to Belgium. St Ita of Nivelles gave him land at Fosses where he founded a monastery. He enlightened Brabant but was killed by robbers and is venerated as a martyr.
  9. "ST. FOILAN was a native of Ireland, and came with his brothers, St. Fursey and St. Ultan, into England, where they founded the religious house of Burghcastle, in Suffolk. When St. Fursey retired to the Continent, he left St. Foilan and others to govern in his stead. In the course of time he also left England, and established the Monastery of Fosse, on a site given to him by St. Gertrude of Nivielle. He was consecrated Bishop by Pope Martin I, with a commission to preach to the infidels. In the zealous exercise of this work he received the crown of martyrdom at their hands." [22]
  10. "ST. BEGH, or BEE (in Latin BEGA), was of Irish parentage, and fled to England to escape a marriage which her parents had planned for her, having the holy purpose of consecrating her virginity to God. On her first landing, she is said to have found refuge on the promontory still known as St. Bee's Head, in Cumberland, where in after-years there was a cell of monks, depending on the Abbey of St. Mary's, in York. Bega received the religious habit from the Bishop St. Aidan, and is reported to have been the first so professed in Britain. The subsequent history of her life is unknown, unless she be the same with St. Hieu, or the Begu, mentioned by St. Bede, as some have supposed. [22]
  11. Born in Swabia in Germany, he became a monk at Einsiedeln Abbey in Switzerland (964). In 971 he was ordained and with a group of monks went to convert the Magyars, but in 972 he was made Bishop of Regensburg. He was a great benefactor of the poor.
  12. (in Ukrainian) Спиридон Проскурник . Вікіпедії (Ukrainian Wikipedia).

  17. This saint lived in the reign of Julian the Apostate (361), and was the son of a pagan priest. A certain pious Christian Deaconess brought him to the faith in Christ, who was a friend of his mother. He suffered severe tortures in the beginning, when his father learned of this. He miraculously survived however, and after Julian the Apostate died, he managed to bring his elderly father to the Christian faith and many other young pagans. He then lived a strict ascetical life and reposed in peace.
  18. Recorded in the Patmian Codex.
  19. Possibly in the previous night.
