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 only evidence for the life of Saint Crescentiana is a church in Rome dedicated to her that was already extant at the time of Pope Symmachus (498-514) (Benedictines).[11]
St Barlaam and his holy icon are venerated in Ukraine by those afflicted with the inclination to drinking; their friends and relatives also invoke his intercession on their behalf.[13]

gollark: That's silly, QM only gives you a probability distribution IIRC.

gollark: This is only 16GB of memory, which you can get on a reasonable workstation now.

gollark: * 2^34, even better

gollark: Anyway, single-precision floats can hold 2^32 values. Assuming you want to map each float to another float, you therefore only need 2^36 bytes of memory to store the lookup table.

gollark: I agree.
