    The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar").
  2. "THE birthday of the apostle St. Barnabas, born in Cyprus. By the disciples, he was ordained apostle of the Gentiles with St. Paul, and with him traversed many regions, fulfilling his commission to preach the Gospel. At length he went to Cyprus, where he ennobled his apostolate by a glorious martyrdom. Through his own revelation his body was found, in the time of the emperor Zeno, together with a copy of St. Matthew's gospel copied with his own hand."[7]
  3. Name days celebrated today include:
    • Bartholomew, Bartholomeus (Βαρθολομαῖος);
    • Barnabas, Varnavas (Βαρνάβας).
  4. "At Aquileia, the martyrdom of the saints Feilx and Fortunatus, brothers. In the persecution of Diocletian and Maximian, they were racked, and had flaming torches held against their sides. These being extinguished by the power of God, boiling oil was poured over them, and as they persevered in confessing Christ, they were decapitated."[7]
  5. "HEREBALD, or HERBAUD, was a native of Great Britain, and, as it seems from his name, of an English family. He was granted to the earnest prayers of his parents, who had been long married, without the blessing of children. From his earliest days the child showed signs of extraordinary piety, love of prayer, and solitude, together with a spirit of mortification, and when he attained a more mature age forsook his father's house and all he had, to lead the life of a hermit in Brittany. After various difficulties and persecutions, he at length established himself in the parish of Berien, where his sanctity and miracles won the admiration of all men. In this spot he gave up his soul to God, and was buried in the church, which now bears his name."[15]
  6. A Cypriot chronographer has written that it is possible that St. Barnabas of Vasa was one of the "'300 Allemagne Saints" who settled in Cyprus in the 12th century. The 300 Allemagne Saints came to Cyprus from Palestine and lived as ascetics in various parts of the island.
  7. In June 2019, the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate formally added the physician Saint Luke, Bishop of Simferopol and Crimea in the Orthodox list of Saints of the Church.[25]
