It is important to note that in the Orthodox Church, liturgical commemorations may be celebrated on either the Old Calendar (Julian Calendar) or the New Calendar (Revised Julian Calendar), which aligns with the Gregorian Calendar. The dates listed above correspond to the Julian Calendar. Churches that follow the New Calendar commemorate these saints and events 13 days earlier, on July 14th.
