Notes
[edit]- ^ 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"). - ^ While the "Great Synaxaristes" of the Orthodox Church lists St. Isidore of Alexandria for May 10, note that Western sources list his feast day for January 15.[5][6]
- ^ Passarion was a famous acetic of Palestine, a contemporary of Patriarch Juvenal of Jerusalem (420-458), and served as the teacher of Saint Euthymius the Great. Cyril of Scythopolis (525-558) tells that Passarion died seven months after the dedication of the church of the Lavra of St. Euthymius. This dedication was on March 7, 428. The death of Passarion was at the end of October, 428. The Palestinian-Georgian calendar has the feast of Passarion on June 7.[8] There is also a "Passarion (Ascetic)" listed on August 11.[9][10]
- ^ Associate and close friend of St Sophronius, Bishop of Irkutsk (March 30).[23]
- ^ The "Kiev-Bratskaya" Icon of the Mother of God miraculously appeared in the Church of Sts. Boris and Gleb in 1654 in the town of Vishgorod (Kiev Province). In 1662, during Russia's war with Poland (1659 - 1667), the town suffered greatly at the hands of Crimean Tatars allied with the Poles. The Church of the Holy Passion-bearers Boris and Gleb was brought to ruin, and was desecrated. However, by God's Providence the miraculous Icon of the Mother of God and the relics of Sts. Boris and Gleb were spared; the Icon had been timely removed from the church and sent down the Dniepr River, and the relics of the saints had been hidden. The Icon was carried by the river current to the banks of Podol in Kiev, where it was joyously received by the Orthodox and with due honor was taken to the Bratsk Monastery. There it remained over the course of many years. A survey of the Kiev-Bratsk Monastery church property compiled in 1807 included a description of the Icon. There was a "Song of the Miraculous Kiev-Bratskaya Icon of the Mother of God," composed shortly after 1692. The Kiev-Bratskaya Icon of the Mother of God is celebrated on three days each year: September 6, May 10, and June 2. They are all dedicated to the miraculous appearance of the Holy Icon in 1654. The original Icon is no longer extant. A copy exists in the Kiev Monastery of the Protection of the Mother of God.[29]
