• KENNOCHA (Kenoca or Kennotha) Solitary of Coila, Scotland (1007) in the reign of King Malcolm II
From her infancy she was a model of humility, meekness, modesty and devotion. Though an only daughter, and the heiress of a rich and noble family, fearing lest the poison which lurks in the enjoyment of perishable goods, should secretly steal into her affections, or the noise of the world should be a hinderance to her attention to heavenly things and spiritual exercises, she rejected all solicitations of suitors and worldly friends, and, in the bloom of life, made an entire sacrifice of herself to God, by making her religious profession in a great nunnery, in the county of Fife. In this holy state, by an extraordinary love of poverty and mortification, a wonderful gift of prayer, and purity or singleness of heart, she attained to the perfection of all virtues. Several miracles which she wrought made her name famous among men, and she passed to God in a good old age, in the year 1007. Several churches in Scotland bore her name, particularly one near Glasgow, still called St Kennoch's Kirk, and another called by an abbreviation of her name Kyle, in which her relics were formerly kept with singular veneration.

Bishop of Seville. Converted Saint Hermengild and Prince Reccared, sons of the Arian Visigoth king Leovigild, who then exiled Leander to Constantinople from 579 to 582.

When Reccared ascended the throne, Leander was allowed to return to Seville. He worked against Arianism, and presided over the Third Council of Toledo in 589. He revised and unified the Spanish liturgy, and his boundless energy and steady faith led the Visigoths back to orthodox Christianity. Leander wrote an influential Rule for nuns. He introduced the Nicene Creed to Mass in the west.

• Translation (846) of relics of Hieroconfessor NICEPHORUS 尼基佛若 Patriarch of Constantinople (828) // JUN 2 // MAR 13 TR REL //
Ἀνακομιδὴ Τιμίων Λειψάνων Ἁγίου Νικηφόρου τοῦ Ὁμολογητοῦ, Πατριάρχου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως
圣尼基佛尔，君士坦丁堡牧首
The translation of his relics to the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople took place on March 13, 847, under Patriarch Saint Methodius, the pious Empress Theodora, and Emperor Michael III.
尼基佛尔用智慧和热心管理教会，成为君士坦丁堡伟大的牧首之一。当亚美尼亚人莱翁开始进行圣像破坏运动时，尼基佛尔孤身同皇帝进行作战。起初他劝说莱翁皇帝，后来揭穿了他的本来面目。因此，莱翁皇帝将尼基佛尔流放到了普罗肯内西斯岛。尼基佛尔在这个岛屿上建立了一座修道院，名为圣德奥多若修道院。这位正教的捍卫者在这个修道院中潜心修行13年之久，之后于公元827年魂归天国。在所有反对圣像的皇帝都死亡之后，在弥哈伊尔和其母后当政期间，麦托迪重返牧首职位。圣尼基佛尔的圣髑于公元846年从普罗肯内西斯运送到君士坦丁堡，起初放在了上帝神圣智慧教堂（圣索菲亚教堂），圣尼基佛尔就是从这里被流放的；后来将圣尼基佛尔的圣髑转移到了12圣徒教堂。在6月2日和3月13日都是圣尼基佛尔的纪念日。3月13日主要是纪念他的圣髑被发现和转移。事实上，圣尼基佛尔从君士坦丁堡遭到流放的时间正是3月13日，而他的圣髑于13年后也于3月13日这一天被转移到君士坦丁堡。
This confessor of the Orthodox Faith presented himself to the Lord in the year 827 A.D. Since all the iconoclastic emperors had perished, and Michael, with his mother Theodora, sat on the Imperial Throne, Patriarch Methodius then was restored to the Patriarchal Throne. The relics of St Nicephorous were translated from Prokenesis to Constantinople in 846 A.D. and were reposed, first in the Church of the Divine Wisdom of God (St Sophia), from which he was banished during his life, and later reposed in the Church of the Twelve Apostles. The principal feast of this great hierarch is commemorated on June 2 and again on March 13 when the discovery and translation of his incorruptible relics is commemorated. On March 13, St Nicephorous was banished from Constantinople and then, again, on March 13, nineteen years later, his relics were returned to the Capitol.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἄβιβος ὁ Μάρτυρας
He was the administrator (we would say mayor) of the city of Hermopolis in Egypt. During a persecution, he and many other Christians fled to the mountains, where Sabinas shut himself in a hut and spent his days in fasting and prayer. But a poor man who brought him food (and whom Sabinas had helped in many ways) betrayed him to the authorities for two pieces of gold. Sabinas and six others were arrested, bound and brought before the governor Arian. After harsh torture, Sabinas was drowned in the Nile.
• Hosiosmartyr THEOKTISTOS of the Great Lavra of St Sabbas the Sanctified (797)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Θεόκτιστος ὁ Ὁσιομάρτυρας
• Righteous YPOMONI (Helen Dragaš) (1450) in Christ God Augusta and Empress of the Romans, Palaiologos //MAR 13 // MAY 29 //
Saint Ypomoni did not benefit only her family. Anyone near her garnered spiritual fruits.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
