Γενέσιον τοῦ Τιμίου ἐνδόξου Προφήτου, Προδρόμου καὶ Βαπτιστοῦ Ἰωάννου
先驱者施浸约安的诞生
天使長加百列往拿撒勒城向童女瑪利亞顯現之前六個月，就向耶路撒冷聖殿的司祭撒加利亞進行顯現。加百列向童女瑪利亞宣佈她將要被聖靈感孕之前，就向撒加利亞宣佈，他那不生育且又年邁的妻子伊利莎白，將要給他生一個兒子。起初，撒加利亞並不相信上帝的使者所說的話，由此，撒加利亞變成了啞巴，不能說話，直到施洗約翰出生後第八天為止。當日，撒加利亞和伊利莎白的親戚們都圍在一起要給孩子行割禮，並要給孩子取一個名字。當他們問孩子的父親為孩子取什麼名字的時候，因為撒加利亞是個啞巴，所以，他在一個板子上寫下了「約翰」兩個字。從那時起，他的舌頭開始舒展開來，並開始說話。撒加利亞的家位於伯利恆和錫伯倫之間的高處。上帝的使者向撒加利亞顯現，以及他變成啞巴，他在板子上寫上「約翰」之後便開始說話的消息立即傳遍了整個以色列。甚至消息都傳到了希律王的耳朵裡。因此，當希律王派遣士兵要殺盡伯利恆的孩子的時候，也派遣人去位於山坡上的撒加利亞的家，打算將約翰也殺掉。伊利莎白立即將孩子藏了起來。希律王大怒，於是派殺手到聖殿去追殺撒加利亞（因為正好是輪到撒加利亞在耶路撒冷的聖殿裡服侍）。結果，撒加利亞在宮殿與聖殿之間被殺死，濺在石路上的鮮血凝固了，且變得僵硬，成為指控希律王的永久的見證。伊利莎白將孩子藏在山洞中，但不久以後她也去世。幼小的約翰獨自留在曠野中，得以上帝和上帝的使者的看護。
Cousin of Jesus Christ. Son of Zachary, a priest of the order of Abia whose job in the temple was to burn incense; and of Elizabeth, a descendent of Aaron. As Zachary was ministering in the Temple, an angel brought him news that Elizabeth would bear a child filled with the Holy Spirit from the moment of his birth. Zachary doubted and was struck dumb until John's birth. Prophet. John began his ministry around age 27, wearing a leather belt and a tunic of camel hair, living off locusts and wild honey, and preaching a message of repentance to the people of Jerusalem. He converted many, and prepared the way for the coming of Jesus. He Baptized Christ, after which he stepped away and told his disciples to follow Jesus. Imprisoned by King Herod. He died a victim of the vengeance of a jealous woman; he was beheaded, and his head brought to her on a platter. Saint Jerome says Herodias kept the head for a long time after, occasionally stabbing the tongue with his dagger because of what John had said in life.

Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ὀρέντιος, Φαρμάκιος, Ἔρως, Φίρμος, Φιρμίνος, Κυριακὸς καὶ Λογγίνος οἱ Μάρτυρες
圣殉道者奥伦蒂乌斯、法纳丘斯、埃罗斯、菲尔姆斯、菲尔米努斯、赛里亚库斯和隆基诺
這幾位殉道者是親兄弟，且是馬克思米安在位時期羅馬帝國的士兵。當羅馬帝國在多瑙河同賽西亞人進行交戰時，聖奧倫蒂烏斯出來同賽西亞巨人馬拉托姆交戰，並將這位巨人殺死。由此，整個羅馬軍團都向眾神獻祭，但是，奧倫蒂烏斯和他的兄弟卻表明了他們是基督徒，不會向偶像獻祭。儘管立下了汗馬功勞，但是，這幾位兄弟卻被流放到裡海一帶。一路上，這七位兄弟因飢餓難忍紛紛歸依基督永恆的國度。
• Martyrs of Rome under Nero
• Martyrs FESTUS (also Faustus), LUCIA and 20 (24) Companions at Rome under Nero
• Sisters COLUMBA, MACRINA (Materna) and PERSEVERANDA (Pecinna, Pezaine, Pézenne, Pexina, Pesina or Péchinne) Nuns of Magne, Diocese of Poitiers (8th c.)
• Holy martyrs AGOARD, AGILBERT and Companions (5/7th c.) in Creteil, now a suburb of Paris in France
The Roman Martyrology repeats the legend: "In the neighborhood of Paris, in the village of Creteil, the passion of the holy martyrs Agoard and Aglibert, and numberless others of both sexes." The Jesuit Bollandists date their martyrdom between the 1st and 3rd centuries, but some claim it was more likely to have occurred at a later date--perhaps about AD 400. They were said to have migrated to Creteil, been converted by Saint Altinus, pulled down a pagan temple, and suffered the consequence of death by the sword. A church was later erected over their burial site, where their relics are now enshrined.

Ἡ Ἁγία Ἀλένα ἡ Μάρτυς ἐκ Βρυξελλῶν
Born near Brussels, Belgium; died c. 640. St Alena was baptized without the knowledge of her pagan parents. She was killed while secretly travelling to hear Divine Service. St Alena is depicted in art as a princess with one arm torn off. She might also be portrayed healing a blind man or with an angel encouraging her. She is venerated in Brussels and is invoked for eye troubles and toothache.
• Martyr AMPHIBALUS of Verulam (304)
The original acta of St Alban say only that the protomartyr put on the cloak (amphibalus) of the priest, was arrested in his stead, and was martyred. Geoffrey of Monmouth took the word amphibalus as the name of the priest. Thus, in later versions of the story, the priest is martyred with or just after St Alban.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Νικήτας Ἐπίσκοπος Ρεμεσιάνας τῆς Ρουμανίας
雷梅西亚纳的主教圣尼基塔
尼斯塔斯是諾拉的聖保利努斯的朋友，他們兩人同歲（1 月23 日）。可能尼斯塔斯是斯拉夫人，因此，他在尼什和皮羅特地區向斯拉夫人宣講福音。聖尼斯塔斯為斯拉夫人所帶來的變化可以從聖保利努斯所寫的有關尼斯塔斯的讚美詩中可以看出：「哦，多麼大的改變！多麼幸運！」原本是冷血無情的山賊如今卻都變成了愛好和平的修士；原本禽獸不如，如今卻有若天使；以前的山洞中擠滿了壞蛋，如今卻成了義人的避難所。尼斯塔斯的主教區是雷梅西亞納，有人也稱之為皮羅特。除了傳教活動之外，他還書寫了六本有關信仰的書，以及一本描寫一個少女墜落的書（這本書使很多人懺悔歸主）。聖尼斯塔斯於公元五世紀安息主懷。
Sainted Nikita, a native and afterwards bishop of the city of Remesianum (Remeshek, now Nirot), was born a Slav. All his life was devoted to the spread of Christianity among the Slavic tribes. He died peacefully in about the year 420.

Benedictine monk. Friend of St Gummarus. Evangalizing missionary bishop with St Willibrord of Echternach and St Libert in the area of modern Netherlands and Brabant, Belgium. Martyr, murdered by two men whose sinful ways he had denounced. Some writers indicate that he was the son of a Scottish king, some that his brother was St Himelin, and some that he was bishop of Dublin, Ireland.
