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. ^ Name days celebrated today include:
    • Matthew (Ματθαῖος).
  3. ^ "Eusebius says that after our Lord's ascension, S. Matthew preached in Judaea, some add for fifteen years, and then went to foreign nations. Socrates says that it fell to the lot of S. Matthew to go into Ethiopia. But S. Ambrose says that God opened to him the country of the Persians; Isidore of Seville says that he went among the Macedonians, the acts by the pseudo-Abdias say Ethiopia. Heracleon, disciple of Valentine, living in the 2nd century, and the earliest and most trustworthy authority, says that S. Matthew died a natural death, and S. Clement, Origen, and Tertullian say the same. The story of his martyrdom originated much later. S. Matthew's original Gospel in Aramaic consisted of the sayings of the Lord. The Acts of His life were added later."[7]
  4. ^ "At Padua, St. Fidentius, bishop."[21]
  5. ^ An official at the court of the Emperor Constantius, he was demoted by Julian the Apostate. He and others were dragged tied to the tails of wild horses. Finally they were all burnt at the stake.
  6. ^ "The same day, the holy martyrs Elpidius, Marcellus, Eustochius, and their companions. Elpidius being a senator, and having perseveringly confessed the Christian faith before Julian the Apostate, was, with his companions, first tied to wild horses and dragged by them, and then being thrown into the fire, ended a glorious martyrdom."[21]
  7. ^ He became a monk at Lérins in France in 422 and his wife Galla became a nun. Two of their sons became bishops. In 434 he became Bishop of Lyons and in 441 he presided the Council of Orange with St Hilary and several of his ascetic works still exist.
  8. ^ "At Lyons, the birthday of St. Eucherius, bishop and confessor, a man of extraordinary faith and learning. He renounced the senatorial dignity to embrace the religious life, and for a long time voluntarily shut himself up in a cavern, where he served Christ in prayer and fasting. Afterwards, through the revelation of an angel, he was solemnly installed in the episcopal chair of the city of Lyons."[21]
  9. ^ Of Germanic origin and already a priest, in 720 he was appointed Abbot of St Gall in Switzerland. Under him a period of prosperity began for the monastery, which soon became the most important in Switzerland. He was persecuted by two lords, unjustly slandered and condemned. He bore his sufferings with great patience, reposing in prison.
  10. ^ He governed the Church ably in the critical times of the Danish invasion of Kent.
  11. ^ "ST. ALFRICK, or ALRIC, professed the monastic life and was made Abbot of Abingdon. From that office he was promoted to be Bishop of Wilton, and lastly, on the death of Siric, he became Archbishop of Canterbury. He is said to have ruled his church in a most religious manner during eleven years, which the incursions of the Danes contributed to make a most difficult time. After that he was called to the reward of his labours, and buried in his Cathedral Church, being counted as one of the many Saints whom God granted to the Metropolitan See."[22]

  13. ^ He was martyred on November 29, 1979. He was canonized on September 11, 2009 by the Patriarchate of Jerusalem,[25] with this canonization being reaffirmed on March 5, 2010 by the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Russia as well:[26]
    (in Russian): 5 марта 2010 года Священный синод Русской православной церкви постановил:
    «включить имя священномученика Филумена (Хасаписа) в месяцеслов Русской Православной Церкви с установлением празднования его памяти 16/29 ноября, как это установлено в Иерусалимской Церкви».
    Both Patriarchates placed his feast day on November 16 (ns) / 29 (os).
    Churches on the New Calendar place his feast day directly on November 29 (ns).
