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"). - "In Africa, in the persecution of the Vandals, the holy bishops Donatian, Praesidius, Mansuetus, Germanus, and Fusculus, who were most cruelly scourged and sent into exile, by order of the Arian king Hunneric, because they proclaimed the Catholic truth. Among them was one named Laetus, also a bishop, a courageous and most learned man, who was burned alive after a long imprisonment in a loathsome dungeon."[9]
- He is mentioned several times by St Gregory the Great as a wonderworker. He was Abbot of St Mark's in Spoleto in Italy, which he left for St Gregory's own monastery in Rome, where he lived as a monk for many years.
- His disciple was Zosimus, the future Bishop of Syracuse.
- A holy virgin from Ireland who founded a convent at what is now St Bees Head in Cumberland. The village of Kilbees in Scotland was also named after her.
- Two slaves from England sold in France and ransomed by St Gregory the Great, who asked that they be taken to a monastery to be prepared as missionaries in England. Felix was ordained priest and Augebert deacon, but they were killed by pagans in Champagne before they could undertake their mission.
- Born in Ireland, he preached with Sts Columbanus and Gall. He founded the Monastery of Füssen in Bavaria in Germany.
- The meaning of the Greek is unclear and no further details are given in the Synaxarion:
- (in Greek) :Ἐγκαίνια Ναοῦ Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου εἰς τὸ Δεύτερον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῆς Ἁγίας Εἰρήνης (κατ’ ἄλλους Ἁγίας Ἄννης)".
