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 hymns of Vespers remind us that the Transfiguration is not merely a historical event, but something which also has implications for us. Those who “desire to see and hear things past understanding” must ascend from earthly concerns to "the height of the contemplation of the virtues." This may be achieved by “directing our minds to heavenly things” and by "being formed anew in piety into the image of Christ."[2]
  3. ↑ "AT Rome, on the Tiburtine road, the birthday of the blessed archdeacon Lawrence, a martyr during the persecution of Valerian. After much suffering from imprisonment, from scourging with whips set with iron or lead, from hot metal plates, he at last completed his martyrdom by being slowly consumed on an iron instrument made in the form of a gridiron. His body was buried by blessed Hippolytus and the priest Justin in the cemetery of Cyriaca, in the Veran field."[4]
  4. ↑ Born in Athens in Greece, this Pope was martyred. While celebrating the liturgy in the catacomb of Praetextatus in Rome, he was arrested together with his deacons Felicissimus, Agapitus, Januarius, Magnus, Vincent and Stephen. All of them were martyred and later the seventh deacon St Laurence followed them.[5]
  5. ↑ Ordered by the pagan Romans to surrender the riches of the Church, St Laurence brought the poor and sick saying, "These are the riches of the Church." His cult has always been popular in Ukraine, especially among winemakers.[8] Name days celebrated today include:
    • Laurence (Λαυρέντιος);
    • Laurencia (Λαυρεντία).
  6. ↑ he was a sister of St Grata and both were associated in the burial of the holy martyr Alexander.
  7. ↑ A poor shoemaker in Rome and a contemporary of St Gregory the Great, who relates that he gave away to the poor every Saturday all that he had earned at his trade during the week.
  8. ↑ Elected in about 660. She was a relative of St Ebrigisil, of St Ado, founder of Jouarre, and of St Agilbert, Bishop of Paris.
  9. ↑ "ST. BETTELIN, or BERTHELM, as he is sometimes called, was a disciple of St. Guthlac, and lived, as did several others, in a cell near Croyland. This kind of life he continued under Kenulph, the Saint's successor, and ended his days in great sanctity. It is conjectured that his relics, or a considerable portion of them, were translated to Stafford, before the destruction of Croyland by the Danes. However this may be, it was in Stafford and the neighbourhood that St. Bettelin was honoured with especial veneration."[13] The base of his shrine still exists at Ilam.
