Pilgrim

This list is compiled from a number of sources; there isn’t (to my knowledge) a single comprehensive (never mind authorised) Orthodox calendar of early British saints, and this isn’t one. My main sources are:

The idea is to gather the year’s early western and especially British (which is a slightly inaccurate but succinct way of saying ‘of these islands’ and including Ireland, Scotland, Man, the Channel Islands, Wales, England, and indeed sometimes Continental saints, especially those who originated or are also venerated in Britain) saints here and gradually link to the posts about them. I also include other saints and/or feasts when I feel like it!
