  3. ↑ "At Caesarea, in Palestine, St. Theodulus, an aged man, in the service of the governor Firmilian. Moved by the example of the martyrs, he confessed Christ with constancy, was fastened to a cross, and thus by a noble victory merited the palm of martyrdom."[9]
  4. ↑ "AT Rome, the passion of St. Faustinus, whom forty-four others followed to receive the crown of martyrdom."[9]
  5. ↑ "GUEVROCK was a native of Great Britain, who followed his master St. Tugdual to Brittany, and was named by him Superior of a new monastery in the place since called Loc-Kiric. He lived in seclusion until called by St. Paul of Léon to assist him in the government of his diocese. In the exercise of this duty he exhibited great zeal and charity, and was favoured with miraculous gifts. He was attending the Bishop in his visitation when seized with his last illness at a place called Landerneau. There he gave up his soul to God, but his body was conveyed to his own Abbey of Loc-Kiric. His relics were preserved with veneration for a length of time, but were lost during the invasions and civil disturbances which occurred at a later period."[16]
  6. ↑ Numerous disciples attached themselves to this ascetic and he became their abbot.
  7. ↑ Born in Ireland, he became a monk at Iona in Scotland and succeeded St Aidan in the Northumbrian Church. With St Cedd and others he enlightened parts of the south of England.
  8. ↑ A courtier who gave up his worldly life to preach the Gospel. He enlightened the area near Thérouanne in the north of France. After some forty years of unceasing work, during which he paid the ransoms of many slaves, he went to the monastery of Auchy-les-Moines, where he lived the few remaining years of his life as a monk.
  9. ↑ The 300 Allemagne Saints came to Cyprus from Palestine, and lived as ascetics in various parts of the island. Included among the "300 Allemagne Saints" are:
    • Venerable Anastasios the Wonderwoker of Cyprus, September 17
    • Venerable Abbacum the Ascetic of Cyprus, Wonderworker, December 2
    • Venerable Cassian the Martyr (Kassianos), December 4
    • Venerable Calantius of Tamassos (Kalandios), April 26
    • Martyr Constantine of Cyprus (Constantine of Allemagne), Wonderworker, July 1
    According to some of their lives in the Great Synaxaristes, after the dissolution of the Second Crusade (1147 - 1149), they decided to live the monastic life in the Jordan desert. However since the Latins there disturbed them, they relocated to Cyprus and dispersed over the island.[19][20]
