The Three Marys, including
Mary of Clopas) at the Tomb of Christ (Kizhi, Russia, 18th century).

^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").
^A close friend of St
Tarasios, Patriarch of Constantinople, venerated together with him and depicted on the miraculous icon of the Theotokos “Economissa” of
Mt Athos which was popular among the
Kozaks who became monastics there.[6]
^In the late 5th century AD the Christians built a church on the site of the burial ground of the martyrs; and in 1145 AD the holy
relics of the martyrs were translated to the cathedral of Nantes ("Église Saint-Donatien et Saint-Rogatien"). See also:
May 24.[14]
^The Great Synaxaristes records that St. Desiderius reposed in peace; however the Roman Martyrlogy notes that he was martyred after visiting the king to offer entreaties on behalf of his people who were mistreated by the
Vandal army.
^Saint Syagrius was a relative of Charlemagne. When Charlemagne visited
Cimiez, which had been devastated by the
Lombards in 574, he caused St. Syagrius to build the monastery of St. Pontius on its ruins, the largest Alpine abbey of the Middle Ages.[22]
^A descendant of St
Volodymyr the Great, St Euphrosynia led a very holy life, dying while in Jerusalem on pilgrimage. Her relics were enshrined in the
Kyiv Caves where they were later taken to her native Belarus – a portion of her relics remained in the Kyiv Caves however. Her
two-bar blessing Cross has become the national Cross of Belarus.[6]

August 22.[33]
