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. ^ "In Egypt, St. Licarion, martyr, who was lacerated, scourged with heated iron rods, and, after other horrible torments, was crowned with martyrdom by a stroke from the sword."[22]
  3. ^ Elected in 336, he was exiled to Pontus in 337, from where he returned in 338, but was exiled again by an Arian Council, this time to Trier in Germany. He returned in c 340, but in 342 was sent in chains to Mesopotamia by the Emperor Constantius. Recalled in 344, he was banished for the last time to Cukusus in Armenia, where he was left without food for six days and then strangled.[30]
  4. ^ "In the Irish Church, the Feast of this illustrious Martyr St. Paul, Bishop of Constantinople, was formerly held, as we find, by reference to the "Feilire" of St. Ængus, where a eulogy occurs on his triumph. This holy Prelate was a native of Thessalonica, and afterwards he was deacon at Constantinople, in the year 340. Then, the Archbishop on his death-bed recommended him as successor, and he was accordingly elected. However, he was bitterly persecuted by the Arians, and having been banished from his See by the Emperor Constantius, who favoured the Arian heresy, he was transported to Cucusus, a small town in Cappadocia, where his enemies conspired against his life. Meantime, Macedonius had been obtruded on the citizens of Constantinople as their bishop, with great popular tumult, and much bloodshed. Having been captured by the Eusebians, St. Paul was hanged or strangled, about the middle of the fourth century. His death has been placed, at June 7th, A.D. 344. The body of St. Paul was afterwards brought by the Emperor Theodosius to Constantinople, with every demonstration of honour and reverence. The Bollandist Father Francis Baert, has an account of him, in Four Chapters, to which a Preliminary Dissertation is prefixed, while two distinct Appendices follow. The remains of St. Paul, repose at Constantinople, in a church so called; and on the fall of that city, they were removed to Venice, A.D. 1226, where they are kept with great respect, in the Church of St. Lorenzo."[32]
  5. ^ Probably born in Ireland, he became Bishop of Dromore in Co. Down. By tradition he was the teacher of St Finnian of Clonard.
  6. ^ He was greatly venerated in Montreuil-sur-Mer.
  7. ^ "[Gallican Martyrology of Saussaye, Ancient Martyrology of Centulle, and venerated in the diocese of Amiens. Authority:—An ancient life quoted by Ignatius the Carmelite in his Historia Abbavillana, 1480.]"
    "S. Wulphlag, a native of Ponthieu, from his earliest childhood was devoted to the service of the altar. He married a pious wife shortly before he was ordained priest, and by her became the father of three daughters, who grew up virtuous and God-fearing. S. Wulphlag was appointed to the charge of Rue, near the sea, between the rivers Somme and Authie. But after a while he went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and on his return announced to his wife and daughters that he was resolved to embrace an eremitical life. He retired into a cell which he constructed at Regnie l'Ecluse, in a wild and desolate spot. He was consoled there with the news that his daughters had renounced the world and taken the vows of monastic life. He died in his hermitage, and was buried at Requier. His body was afterwards translated to S. Sauve, at Montreuil-sur-Mer, where it now rests."[37]

  11. ^ Peter was a priest; Wallabonsus, a deacon; Sabinian and Wistremundus, monks of St Zoilus in Cordoba in Spain; Habentius, a monk of St Christopher's; Jeremiah, a very old man, had founded the monastery of Tábanos, near Cordoba. For publicly denouncing Mohammed they were martyred under Abderrahman in Cordoba. Jeremiah was scourged to death; the others were beheaded.
  12. ^ "At Cordova, the holy martyrs Peter, priest, Wallabonsus, deacon, Sabinian, Wistremundus, Habentius, and Jeremias, monks."[22]
  13. ^ "[Spanish and Roman Martyrologies. Authority:—S. Eulogius of Cordova, a martyr in the same persecution.]"
    "Peter a priest, Walabons a deacon, Sabinian, Wistremund, Habentius, and Jeremias, monks, suffered in the persecution of the Mussulmans in Spain. Sabinian was quite a young man, but Jeremias was very old. He had been married and had a family, but in his old age renounced the world and entered a monastery. They presented themselves before the cadi of Cordova, declaring that they were Christians and ready to die for their faith. Jeremias was first scourged and then, with the rest, decapitated."[46]
  14. ^ Venerable Anastasios Gordios was one of the most important scholarly clerics during the Turkish occupation. He is numbered among the Teachers of the Nation and is considered a precursor to the Modern Greek Enlightenment. His fragrant skull is today treasured at St. Paraskevi Monastery in Agrafa.[50]
