- Synaxis of the Holy Archangel Gabriel
- On this day all the many visitations and miracles of the holy
Archangel, recorded in Holy Scripture and ever since, are commemorated.
This feast duplicates the Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel that is
celebrated on March 26 (April 8), the day after Annunciation; it is thought that
it was added to the calendar here some time in the ninth century, so
that it could be celebrated more festively outside of Great Lent.
- Saint Julian, Bishop of Cenomanis (Le Mans) (1st c.)
- He was made bishop by the Apostle Peter and sent to Gaul as a
missionary. Some believe that he was Simon the Leper, whom the Lord
healed, later named Julian in Baptism. In Gaul, despite great
difficulty and privation, he converted many to faith in Christ and
worked many miracles — healing the sick, driving out demons, and even
raising the dead. In time the local prince, Defenson, was baptised
along with many of his subjects. He reposed in peace.
