  2. He was slain before the Pasch. His head was found and enshrined at Edessa today.[6]
  3. "THE beheading of St. John the Baptist, who was put to death by Herod about the feast of Easter. However, the solemn commemoration takes place today, when his venerable head was found for the second time. It was afterwards solemnly carried to Rome, where it is kept in the church of St. Silvester, near Campo Marzio, and honored by the people with the greatest devotion."[7]
  4. Her memory was celebrated on August 29, but was moved to August 3, due to the feast of the Beheading of the Glorious Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John.
  5. He is not included in the Synaxaria. However his memory is recorded in the Byzantine Church Calendar of Gideon (Βυζαντινὸ Ἑορτολόγιο τοῦ Γεδεῶν), p. 161, as a founder and renovator of many churches and monasteries. Basil (867-886) was included with the saints in some Menologia for his piety and his enrichment of the capital (Constantinople) with sacred buildings to the Glory of God.
  6. "At Rome, on Mount Aventine, the birthday of St. Sabina, martyr. Under the emperor Adrian, she was struck with the sword, and thus obtained the palm of martyrdom."[7] The famous Basilica on the Aventine in Rome is dedicated to her.
  7. "In the vicinity of Troyes, St. Sabina, a virgin, celebrated for virtues and miracles."[7]
  8. "Also, at Rome, St. Candida, virgin and martyr, whose body (relics) was transferred to the church of St. Praxedes by pope Paschal I."[7]
  9. "At Perugia, St. Euthymius, a Roman, who fled from the persecution of Diocletian with his wife and his son Crescentius, and there rested in the Lord."[7]
  10. King of Essex in England. After a peaceful reign of thirty years he became a monk at the monastery of Westminster ('the monastery in the West') which he had founded. His life was one of prayer, repentance and almsgiving.
  11. Later he lived as a hermit near Paris, where now stands the church of Saint-Merry.
  12. Possibly the brother of St Edmund the Martyr, King of East Anglia.
  13. Rev. Richard Stanton lists him under Nov. 27th in his Menology of England and Wales as follows:
    • "EDWOLD was brother of St. Edmund, King and Martyr, who, after witnessing the misfortunes of his house and country, resolved to forsake this deceitful world, and prepare for eternity by a life of solitude and rigorous mortification. The retreat he chose was Cerne or Cernel, in Dorsetshire, a spot said to have been formerly visited by St. Augustine, in his attempt to convert the people of those parts. There Edwold lived in a solitary cell, tasting nothing but bread and water, and giving himself up to exercises of devotion. He died with a reputation of great holiness; and the veneration with which he was regarded in later years induced Egelward, a wealthy nobleman, to build a monastery in honour of St. Peter over the place of his burial."[15]
  14. His feast day is on January 22.
