Notes

  1. 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").
  2. "ST. CONSTANTINE, King and Martyr, was a British prince, said to have been King of Cornwall. He resigned his crown, and was ordained priest. Constantine is reported to have arrived in Scotland at the same time as St. Columba, to have founded a monastery at Govan, to have preached to the Scots and Picts, and to have converted the district of Cantyre to the Faith. He ended his course by martyrdom. (It appears to be doubtful whether he was or was not the same Constantine of Cornwall, against whose enormous crimes St. Gildas so loudly inveighs.)."[24]
  3. His feast day is observed on March 9 in the tradition of Cornwall and Wales; and on March 11 in the Scottish and Irish traditions. Two places in Cornwall are still named after him today.
  4. Known as 'the Culdee'. A monk at Clonenagh in Ireland and then at Tallacht, he is remembered for his celebrated hymn to the saints, called Felire. From Tallacht he returned to Clonenagh where he became a bishop.
  5. A prominent priest in Cordoba in Spain when the Moorish persecution was at its height. Outstanding for his courage and learning, he encouraged the Orthodox in their sufferings and wrote The Memorial of the Saints for their benefit.
  6. The synodal act of his glorification by the Church of Bulgaria took place on December 31, 1964.
