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"). - ^ "At Byblos, in Palestine, St. Aquilina, virgin and martyr, at the age of twelve years, under the emperor Diocletian and the judge Volusian. For the confession of the faith she was buffeted, scourged, pierced with red-hot bodkins, and being struck with the sword, consecrated her virginity by martyrdom."[6]
- ^ Sophronios Eustratiadis and others believe that this refers most likely to Eulogius, Patriarch of Antioch, since the memory of the Venerable Eulogius of Alexandria is observed on February 13. However the Patriarchal Lists of the Church of Antioch do not mention the name Eulogios.
- ^ She was left for a fortnight in prison without food or drink and was thrown into a ditch to die. Her body was recovered by St Nicomedes.
- ^ "At Rome, on the Ardeatine road, the birthday of St. Felicula, virgin and martyr, who was delivered to the judge for refusing to marry Flaccus and to sacrifice to idols. As she persevered in the confession of Christ, he confined her in a dark dungeon without food, and afterwards caused her to be racked until she expired. She was then cast into a sewer; but St. Nicomedes buried her on the road just mentioned."[6]
- ^ He was drowned in the River Aterno by the Arian Lombards for asking for mercy for a condemned prisoner.
- ^ "In Abruzzo, St. Peregrinus, bishop and martyr. For the Catholic faith he was thrown into the river Pescara by the Lombards."[6]
- ^ "[Gallican Martyrologies. Authority:—The Breviary lessons of the abbey of S. Rembert]
- S. Ragnbert, or Rembert, was the son of Radbert, duke of the provinces between the Seine and Loire. He was brought up in the love and fear of God. Ebroin, mayor of the palace under King Thierri, out of jealousy of his rank, power, and influence, determined to free himself of Ragnbert, as he had freed himself from other great nobles whom he dreaded. He hired a couple of assassins to murder him. They drew him on some excuse into a lonely spot at Brou, near Ambournay, and there ran him through with a lance."[26]
- ^ See: (in French) Ragnebert. Wikipédia. (French Wikipedia).
- ^ "At Cordova, in the persecution of the Arabs, St. Fandila, a priest and monk, who underwent martyrdom by decapitation for the faith of Christ."[6]
