  2. [2]
    "At Thessalonica, St. Florentius, a martyr, who, after enduring various torments, was burned alive."[6]
  3. [3]
    "Florentius of Thessalonica, a very zealous Christian, was hung on the " little horse," and his sides torn with iron rakes; then, more dead than alive, he was cast into a burning pile of wood and consumed."[7]
  4. [4]
    He is not present in the Synaxarion. His memory is referenced in the Patmiako Codex 266, together with St. Florentius of Thessalonica. However he may be the same as St, Martyrius the Notary of Constantinople (October 25).
  5. [5]
    He is not present in the Synaxarion. His memory is referenced in the Lavreotiko Codex Δ23, together with St. Florentius of Thessalonica, where their service can be found.
  6. [6]
    "At Troas, in Asia Minor, the birthday of St. Carpus, disciple of the blessed apostle Paul."[6]
  7. [7]
    He originated from the so-called Skinopolites, and he held office as a councillor. He abandoned all worldly goods and honours, and presented himself to the governor, Lucian, whom he roundly held to account for the persecutions against the Christians. The archon being stunned at Dioscorus' attitude, attempted to convert his opinion through flattery and threats. However because he did not succeed, he tortured the Saint fiercely and in the end decapitated him.
  8. [8]
    Certain Synaxaria commemorate him on March 31 as well.

    "At Cordova, in Spain, the birthday of the holy martyrs Faustus, Januarius, and Martial. First tortured on the rack, then having their eyelashes shaven, their teeth plucked out, their ears and noses cut off, they finished their martyrdom by fire."[6]
  11. [11]
    "Faustus, Januarius, and Martial, three Christians of Cordova, were brought before the governor Eulogius, and when they refused to sacrifice were slung on the " little horse," but without the pain shaking their confidence and faith. Eulogius then ordered the ears and noses of Faustus and Januarius to be cut off, and as they remained steadfast, the three martyrs were consumed by fire. The "invention" of their relics took place in the year 1575. The church of S. Peter in Cordova was being repaired, when a stone sarcophagus was dug up containing bones and skulls of eighteen bodies. Popular opinion at once concluded that these were the bodies of the three martyrs, with some extra sufferers. This pious conjecture was affirmed to be true by a papal bull of Gregory XIII."[21]
  12. [12]
    "The Aberdeen Breviary says that Fyncana and Findoch died respectively in 526 and 716. But Hector Boece says that they were daughters of S. Donevald, or Donald (July 12), who, with his nine daughters, is said by local tradition to have led a religious life in the glen of Ogilvy, in Forfarshire, where they are still remembered as the Nine Maidens. After his death they are said to have gone to Abernethy. Boece, however, makes only seven maidens. The church of Finaven was dedicated to the Nine Maidens, so also was Strathmartin. There is a Nine Maiden Well there, and in the park at Glamis. But there were other nine maidens brought over by S. Bridget — chief of whom was S. Mazota (Dec. 23) — who are often confounded with the daughters of S. Donald. In the Breviary of Aberdeen is a note or rubric that Fyncana was venerated at Echt in the diocese of Aberdeen, and Findocha at the archidiaconate of the diocese of Dunblane, this is probably Findo-Gask. At Bendochy, near Cupar Angus, there was anciently a chapel at S. Phink, dedicated to that saint; a small part of the ruins remain."[22]
  13. [13]
    He reposed at the coastal town of Matuziano, since renamed San Remo after him.

  15. [15]
    A monk and Abbot of Murbach near Colmar in Alsace in France. In 778 he became Bishop of Augsburg in Germany.
  16. [16]
    "S. Simpert, or Sindebert, was a nephew of Charles the Great, according to some modern authors, but no good grounds for such a statement can be produced. He spent his early life in the abbey of Murbach, near Colmar, and on the death of Tasso, Bishop of Augsburg, in 778, Charlemagne selected him to be his successor. After the death of Abbot Amicho of Murbach he was elected abbot in his room, so that he ruled at the same time an extensive diocese and an important monastery. He rebuilt the church of S. Afra at Augsburg, and greatly benefited by endowments the abbey of Fussen."[25]
  17. [17]
    Gerald, Count of Aurillac in France, led virtuous life as a layman. He founded a monastery on his estate and endowed it. He is the patron-saint of Upper Auvergne.
  18. [18]
    Born in Ireland, he was going through Austria on his way to the Holy Land, when he was arrested as a spy, tortured and hanged with evildoers in Stockerau near Vienna. Miracles were worked by his relics and he was venerated as a saint. He is honoured as one of the patron-saints of Austria.
  19. [19]
    A monk at the monastery of Sts Ulric and Afra in Augsburg in Germany. In 1015 he moved to the monastery of Edersberg. In 1022 he became Abbot of Lorsch and later founded the monastery of Heiligenberg and in 1032 he became Bishop of Speyer.

    "Bosiljka Rajičić (18th C.) was 17 when Albanians kidnapped her. She flatly refused to marry an Albanian and to convert to Islam, and endured all manners of torments. Then she was taken out of the village and torn to pieces, and her relatives were forbidden to bury her remains. Amongst the people, the place of her death became known as "The Girl’s Grave," and a fresco of her soon appeared in Peć Monastery. Her memory will be celebrated on October 13/26."[36]

    Saint Sabbas' relics had been stolen by the Crusaders of the First Crusade (1096-1099), along with many other relics, and were brought to Venice and placed in the Church of Sant'Antonin.[43] The delegation from the Patriarchate of Jerusalem in 1965 included Archbishop Vasilios of Jordan (later the Matropolitan of Caesarea); Archimandrite Theodosios - Igumen of Bethany; Archimandrite Serapheim Savvaitis - Igumen of the Holy Lavra of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified; and Hierodeacon Kyriakos (later the Metropolitan of Nazareth).[43] Elder Serapheim Savvaitis (†2003) had written in his memoirs that:
    • "the Pope did not return the holy relics to us because he loved us, but because Saint Sabbas the Sanctified would often appear to him and troubled him to return his relics back to his monastery (i.e. Holy Lavra of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified). When the Pope died without having taken into account the Saint, Saint Sabbas appeared again to his successor. Moreover, in the church where his holy relics were kept within a glass reliquary, the Saint would hit the glass, making trouble and upsetting the guards and the Latin monks."[43]
