Notes
- 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"). - See: (in Italian) San Liberatore. Wikipedia. (Italian Wikipedia).
- The exact origins and significance of Saint Liberator remain unclear. He lived in an indefinite period and in an unspecified territory of the Roman Empire, and was a victim of anti-Christian persecution.
Although the Latin name 'Liberator' , is the same as the Greek word 'Eleutherius' â which could suggest a possible conflation with Greek Saints named Eleutherius â nevertheless the origins of Saint Liberator are not explicitly detailed in the available sources. - "He practised ascesis in the village of Malounta, in the diocese of Leucosia in Cyprus."[25]
It is unknown when Saint Panegyrios lived, but from his Divine Service it seems that he may have lived during the period of the Arab raids (c. 7th-12th centuries), when different parts of Cyprus had come under Arab rule, at different periods. He taught the Christian way to the Christians and discouraged them from converting to Islam by telling them that Islam as a religion was a delusion. - See: (in Russian) ÐÐ°Ñ Ð¾Ð¼Ð¸Ð¹ ÐеÑÐµÑ ÑÑкий.
