March 29 in the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar commemorates several saints and events. The specific saints commemorated may vary slightly depending on the liturgical tradition (e.g., Constantinopolitan, Jerusalem, etc.) and the particular year (due to leap years and the varying dates of movable feasts). However, some common commemorations include:

• Other Saints: Many other saints and martyrs are commemorated on March 29th, often with lesser known or localized significance. Their specific identities vary based on the liturgical tradition and local customs. Detailed information on these saints requires consulting specific liturgical calendars or hagiographies.
