The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar").
"In Africa, the martyr St. Victor, on whose festival St Augustine delivered a discourse to his people."[12]
Palladius was accompanied by four companions: Sylvester and Solinus, who remained after him in Ireland; and Augustinus and Benedictus, who followed him to Britain, but returned to their own country after his death.[14] Palladius is most strongly associated with Leinster, particularly with Clonard, County Meath.
A disciple of St Germanus of Paris, he became Abbot of St Symphorian in Autun in France. Later he was called back to Paris to be the first Abbot of St Vincent and the Holy Cross - afterwards renamed Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Born in Cashel in Tipperary in Ireland, even as a child he is said to have worked miracles. He became a missionary and preached in Scotland, where he became a bishop. According to one tradition he was martyred at Bandry. He is the patron-saint of Lennox.
Born in Burgundy in France, he became a monk at Lérins. From there he went to Luxeuil with St Columbanus, whom he followed to Bobbio in the north of Italy, helping him to found the monastery there and succeeding him as abbot (615).
Note: There is another Georgian Saint named John, from Georgia, also of the same period, and also an Athonite, but is commemorated on June 12:
- St. John (Tornicus) of Mt. Athos and Georgia (998)[26][27]
He was burned alive on March 21, 1547 for his refusal to convert to Islam. However the Great Euchologion lists his feast day as March 10, 1544.[29]
"A Ukrainian from Chernihiv, St Paul was a holy layman who lived at Taganrog to the east of the Black Sea. An ascetic who slept on a wooden board, he was constantly in prayer and would receive very many people who came to him for advice. Russian biographies of him note that he constantly spoke his native Ukrainian language. Today there is a Ukrainian embroidered "rushnyk" mantle-towel over the door of his home which is Taganrog’s greatest religious shrine."[30]
