  2. ↑ He was born into a pagan family from Cappadocia, but was baptized at a young age in secret from his parents. When his father found this out, he banished him from the family estate. The local magistrate tried to force him to renounce Christ and sacrifice to idols, but the saint remained steadfast in his faith, and was martyred by beheading in 251 AD.
  3. ↑ "OLBIANUS, a bishop, whose martyrdom by fire in the reign of Maximian for refusing to sacrifice to Juno, is commemorated in the Basilian Menology, May 4 and 29. In one place the see is Anea and the persecutor is the hegemon Julius; in the other Aelianus, hegemon of Asia, persecutes. In the Menologium Græcorum, May 29, the imperial reign is the same, the consuls are Alexander and Maximus, the praesides Julius and Aelianus. A synaxary given by Boll. Acta SS. 29 Mai. vi. 101, twice mentions the same. Under 4 Mai. i. 458, Henschen quotes all the Greek sources, including the Menaea for May 29. He makes Olbianus the Latin Ulpianus, and fixes Anea or Enen on the Carian coast opposite Samos, under the Metropolitan of Ephesus, in the province of Asia. (Cf. Le Quien, Or. Chr. i. 717)."[4]

The three lived together and reposed at about the same time. The hermitage was situated beneath a huge rock (Peña) where the monastery of St John de la Peña later grew up."[17]
  7. ↑ "A hermit in the Pyrenees in Spain. He lived beneath a huge rock, where the monastery of St John de Ia Peña (of the Rock) was later built. This is famous in Spanish history, since the monastery became the cradle of the Kingdoms of Navarre and Aragon."[17]
  8. ↑ The Holy Martyr John (Nannos) of Soluneia (Thessalonika) was martyred by the Turks in the year 1802 in the city of Smyrna.
  9. ↑ The new-martyr Saint Euthymios, known in the world as Agritellis, was born in 1872 in Parakoila on Lesvos, where he started his education. At the age of nine, he entered Leimonos monastery as a child and was tonsured a monk eight years later, in 1899. He completed his general education at the monastery, and was then sent by the brotherhood to the Theological School of Halki, where he studied from 1900 to 1907. After his graduation, he returned to the monastery, having been ordained as a deacon. He then became a teacher, and was head of the Leimonos School. In 1908 he was ordained priest, and from 1911 until his death on May 1921, served the people of the diocese of Zela on the Pontus as their Bishop. It was because of his actions in support of the Greek side in the War in Asia Minor that he was captured by the Turkish armed forces on January 21, 1921. After suffering terrible tortures he gave up his soul to the Lord on May 29th, 1921.[32]
