• Holy Equals to the Apostles METHODIUS 麦托迪 (885) and CYRIL 基里尔 (869) first teachers of the Slavs
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Κύριλλος καὶ Μεθόδιος οἱ Ἰσαπόστολοι καὶ Φωτιστὲς τῶν Σλάβων
圣基里尔和圣麦托迪是亲兄弟，他们出生于德撒洛尼基一个富有显赫的家庭中，父亲是莱翁，母亲是玛利亚。兄长麦托迪曾经在马其顿的斯拉夫人当中作军官10年的时间，因此他懂得斯拉夫语。之后，麦托迪隐退到了奥林普斯山，并使自己在那里潜心修行。后来基里尔（君士坦丁）也步入兄长的后尘。当哈扎尔国王哈根在位期间向米加勒三世要求派遣基督传教士，他们找到了这二位兄弟，并将他们派遣到哈扎尔。这二位兄弟最终说服了哈根国王信奉基督，并连同国王以及大批国王的朝臣和子民进行施浸，皈依基督。一段时间之后，他们返回了君士坦丁堡，在那里，他们编纂了一个拥有38个字母的斯拉夫字母表，并着手将希腊文圣经翻译成斯拉夫文。在拉斯蒂斯拉夫王子的请求下，他们来到了摩拉维亚，在那里，他们传播并坚定当地的基督信仰、编辑书籍，并将这些书分发给当地的司祭，以教导年轻人。在教宗的请求下，基里尔来到了罗马，后来他在罗马病逝，于公元867年2月14日返回天国。麦托迪返回了摩拉维亚，在斯拉夫人当中增强他们的信仰，直到去世。麦托迪于官员885年4月6日离世，在他去世之后，他的五个门徒同圣克雷盟特一同穿越多瑙河南下到马其顿，从奥赫里德开始向斯拉夫人传讲基督福音，继续圣基里尔和圣麦托迪在北部开始的宣讲福音的工作。
The two saints were brothers, born in Thessalonica. St Methodius, the elder brother, served as a soldier for ten years before becoming a monk. Cyril was librarian at the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople; then he too became a monk. Their first missionary work was not among the Slavs: When the king of the Khazars (a Mongol people who then inhabited much of what is now Russia) petitioned the Emperor Michael to sent teachers to instruct his people, the Emperor chose Cyril and Methodius as his emissaries. They converted the Khazar king to the Christian faith, along with many of his nobles and commoners. When King Rostislav of Moravia likewise sought teachers of the Christian faith, Cyril and Methodius were again sent forth. This time they devised an alphabet for the Slavic language and used it to translate many of the Greek service books into the language of the people. (In theory, the Orthodox people have always been privileged to hear the Church's services in their own tongue, though often attachment to dead languages has prevented this ideal from becoming reality.) Both brothers were repeatedly attacked by Germanic priests of the region, who opposed the use of the common tongue in the liturgy. At different times, both brothers were forced to appeal for exoneration and protection to the Pope of Rome, who supported them warmly each time. After the two Saints reposed, attacks on their work continued, and their disciples were eventually driven from Moravia. The disciples, fleeing southward, found a warmer welcome among the southern Slavic peoples, and their work bore much fruit in Bulgaria (including modern-day Serbia) and other countries. And, of course, the alphabet that they devised, called Cyrillic after St Cyril, remains the standard alphabet of both the Slavonic service books of the Church and the Slavic languages of today.

Saint Lua gave his name to the ancient town of Killaloe (Church of Lua). He is said to have been born of noble parents in Limerick, and educated at Bangor and Clonard. He founded a church and school on the River Shannon, where one of his pupils was the future Bishop Flannan, who succeeded Lua as abbot. His refuge on Friar's Island, County Tipperary, was a pilgrim's destination even in the 20th century ― until a power dam raised the level of the Shannon in 1929 and submerged the island. Lua's chapel had been removed, its stones numbered, and reassembled on the former site of Brian Boru's palace overlooking the Shannon. A legend relates that the horse's hoof-prints in the rock of Friar's Island were those of Saint Patrick's beast ― left when the apostle of Ireland was forced to leap one-eighth of a mile from one shore to the other to escape hostile pagans. His charger rose to the challenge and landed with such force on the island that his hoof prints sank deep into the rock.

• MAMMERTUS Archbishop of Vienne, Confessor (475) in France and a man of great piety and faith
The successor of Saint Simplicius in the See of Vienne in France. He is looked upon as the originator or reviver of the Rogation Day Processions, which he established in his Diocese in consequence of the many calamities which at that time afflicted his people. His learning and the miracles he wrought were renowned, among the latter being the extinction of two fierce fires which threatened to destroy Vienne, and which extinction Saint Avitus, his successor, in his Homily on the Rogations, calls miraculous. This Saint Mammertus is said to be the Bishop Mammertus who attended the Council of Aries (A.D. 475). He died in that same year. His body was transferred from Vienne to the Cathedral of Orleans in the middle of the sixth century, but was destroyed by the Calvinists a thousand years afterwards. The Rogation devotion was gradually propagated to the whole Western Church.
