  3. "AT Rome, in the time of the emperor Adrian, St. Evaristus, pope and martyr, who enriched the Church of God with his blood."[17]
  4. "In Africa, the holy martyrs Rogatian, priest, and Felicissimus, who received the bright crown of martyrs, in the persecution of Valerian and Gallienus. They are mentioned by St. Cyprian in his epistle to the Confessors."[17]
  5. "S. Cyprian speaks of Rogatianus, the priest, and the faithful Felicissimus, who had witnessed a good confession for Christ. He does not call them martyrs, and therefore probably they did not suffer death, but persecution.[18]
  6. "At Narbonne, St. Rusticus, bishop and confessor, who flourished in the time of the emperors Valentinian and Leo."[17]
  7. "Also, St. Quadragesimus, sub-deacon, who raised a dead man to life."[17]
  8. "S. Gwynoc was grandson of Caw, prince of Strath-Clyde, who was driven from his principality by the invasion of the Picts and Scots, and took refuge in Anglesea. His father was Aneurin, also called Gildas, a famous poet. He fought in the bloody battle of Caltraeth, and describes it in his noble poem, the "Gododin." Another of his poems is the "Englynion y Misoedd." He was taken in the battle of Caltraeth and imprisoned, and composed the "Gododin" whilst in chains. On his release he retired to Wales and embraced the monastic life at Llancarvan. His son Gwynoc followed him, and became famous as a model of monastic virtues. The other sons of Aneurin were also saints, Cennydd, Madog, Dolgan, Nwython, and Dolgar."[20]
  9. Brother of St Chad of Lichfield, he was a monk at Lindisfarne who enlightened the Midlands of England and later became Bishop of the East Saxons. He founded monasteries in Tilbury and Lastingham.
  10. A monk at Ripon in England. He later left it for Melrose in Scotland where he became abbot. After the Council of Whitby, he became Abbot of Lindisfarne. In 678 he became Bishop of Lindisfarne and later of Hexham.
  11. He was a builder of monasteries, notably of Neuweiter and Saint-Avold.
  12. Born in England, he set out with St Boniface to enlighten Germany. In 741 he was consecrated Bishop of Buraburg in Hesse.
  13. A patron of sacred learning, Alfred the Great himself translated into English such works as the Dialogues of St Gregory the Great. His memory is held by many in great veneration as a patriot and model of Orthodox kingship.
  14. "There are Orthodox Christians in our days who advocate declaring King Alfred of England (849-899) a Saint of the Church...We're left with three difficulties: (a) King Alfred at no time had an Orthodox cultus; (b) there are no surviving relics of him; and (c) so far there has been no sign from God that God wills him to be glorified by the Church on earth. Of course, anything can happen. Here is what can safely be said: To this day, King Alfred remains an unfadingly bright exemplar of pious Orthodox monarchy. And to this day English-speaking Orthodox Christians owe the rich flowering of tenth-century English Orthodox culture, great monuments of liturgy and sainthood and literature, to the vision, tenacity, and piety of Alfred."[23]
