About this page. This is the Menaion date — the fixed calendar. Parishes on the New Calendar keep it on September 18 by the civil calendar. On the Julian calendar this same commemoration is kept on October 1 by the civil calendar. The movable cycle, which turns on the date of Pascha and changes every year, is on the calendar page. Where a life has been written on this site the name links to it; where it has not, only what the commemoration itself attests is shown, and nothing is added to it.
