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").
^The song of the three youths is alluded to in odes seven and eight of the
canon, a hymn sung in the
matins service and on other occasions in the
Eastern Orthodox Church, where their feast day is December 17 (along with
Daniel). The Orthodox Church also commemorates them on the two Sundays before the
Nativity of Christ. The reading of the story of the fiery furnace, including the song, is prescribed for the
vesperalDivine Liturgy celebrated by the Orthodox on
Holy Saturday. Likewise, the three are commemorated as prophets in the
Calendar of Saints of the
Lutheran Church on December 17 with Daniel.
^Saint Daniel the Confessor, (in the schema Stephen) lived in the 10th century. He was a Spanish dignitary, and prefect of the island of Niverta. Disdaining worldly glory, he became a monk in Rome and went on pilgrimage to the holy places at Constantinople and Jerusalem, where he received the Great Schema and the name Stephen. He received the crown of martyrdom after he refused the Saracens' demand that he renounce Christ and become a Moslem.[9]
^He and his sister lived in Gwynedd. Several churches are dedicated to him.
^Daughter of St Pepin of Landen and St Ida and sister of two other saints. She married Angisilus (Ansegis), son of St Arnulf of Metz. After her husband's death St Begga founded a convent in Andenne on the Meuse in Belgium where she was abbess.
^As a child he was entrusted to St Boniface and brought up in the monastery of Fritzlar in Germany. Ordained, he was sent to enlighten the Saxons. He went to find a suitable site for a monastery in central Germany and chose Fulda. Sturm then went to Montecassino and on his return became Abbot of Fulda. Dearly loved by his monks, Sturm is considered as second only to Boniface as Apostle of Germany.
