    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 Slavic practice, on the Eve of the Nativity of the Lord, the liturgical services consist of the Royal Hours with the Typika, Vespers, and the Divine Liturgy of St Basil the Great. At Vigil in the evening, Great Compline is followed by Matins.[3]
  3. ^ They are not recorded in the Synaxarion of St. Nicodemus, however their memory is preserved in Parisian Codex 1621, with a few biographical details. They were martyred under Maximian and Magnentius (286-305). As Christians they were arrested by the ruler Baudus (who was hegemon of Adrianople in Macedonia), and because they were not persuaded to deny Christ, they were mercilessly tortured in the most horrible way. Eventually they were beheaded and thus took the imperishable crown of martyrdom.[9]
  4. ^ He is not recorded in the Synaxarion of St. Nicodemus, however his memory is preserved in Parisian Codex 1621, with the following biographical summary: This saint was martyred during the reign of Licinius (307-323), to whom he was denounced as a Christian. After being arrested, they hanged him and flayed his skin. Then they handed him over to the ruler Zilikinthius, and because he also failed to this convince the Martyr to denounce Christ, they tortured him severely and in the end decapitated him.[10]
  5. ^ Saint Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain hypothesized that this Saint is the one who was the known as "Pandektos" (i.e. that is, the author of the Pandects of Holy Scripture), who lived in the middle of the 7th century and descended from the Galatia, and was a monk in the Great Lavra of St. Sabbas the Sanctified in Jerusalem. In addition, Antiochos wrote about the Conquest of Jerusalem in 614, and lamented the murder of the monks of the Lavra of St. Sabbas by the invaders. A good study dealing with Antiochus was written by Archimandrite Kallistos (1910), and another by Ioannes Fokilides, in his work "The Holy Lavra of Savva the Sanctified" (1927).[14] See also:
  6. ^ "At Spoleto, the holy priest Gregory. In the time of the emperors Diocletian and Maximian, he was first beaten with rough clubs, and then after being exposed on the gridiron and imprisoned, was struck on the knees with iron carding instruments, burned on the sides with firebrands, and finally beheaded."[19]
  7. ^ "At Bordeaux, St. Delphinus, a bishop, who was renowned for holiness, in the time of Theodosius."[19]
  8. ^ Given in marriage at the age of fifteen. Her betrothed died on her wedding day. She then persuaded her father, Dagobert II, to build for her the convent of Oehren near Trier in Germany. She also built the monastery of Echternach for St Willibrord (698). She reposed at the monastery of Weissenburg.
  9. ^ Agapios the Younger, in the world Antonios Antonopoulos, also known as Antonios Papantopoulos (Dimitsana, 1753 to 1812). He studied at the school of his native town Dimitsana, where his teachers were Agapios Leonardo and Gerasimos Gounas. When the school was closed during the Orlov Revolt, Agapios followed Gerasimos Gounas to Smyrna, where he continued his studies at the prestigious school of the city, under the scholar Ierotheos Dendrinos. In Smyrna he was tonsured a monk. Later he followed Gerasimos Gounas to Chios, and finally returned to his hometown Dimitsana, where in August 1781 he became the director of his old school. The famous School of Dimitsana owes its reputation primarily to Agapios the Younger, who for 32 years performed his duties as director of the school with unique diligence, hard work and honesty. Another characteristic of Agapios, was the simplicity and austerity of his life. We do not have any of his writings, however his influence as an instructor was the root from which many excellent teachers and clergy of the period came forth.[23]
  10. ^ The hymn "In Thee rejoiceth ..." is a Troparion of St. John Damascene, in honor of Our Lady, the text of which is included in Oktoechos. In Orthodox worship it is used in the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, which is served on Christmas Eve:
    "O Full of Grace, all creation rejoiceth in thee! The angelic hosts sing thy praises with all mankind: thou hallowed temple, noetical paradise, and the glory of all virgins. Of thee was God made flesh - our God before all ages - and became a child. Of thy body a throne He made; He made thy womb more spacious than the heavens. All creation rejoiceth in thee, O Full of Grace: glory be to Thee!"
