saints November – December

This list is taken initially from the monthly calendar published by yorkorthodox. For dates left blank by the yorkthodox calendar, you may wish to look at orthodoxengland‘s calendar of western European saints; as its remit is wider, its number of saints listed per day is commensurately higher: November, December. I’m also adding western saints from the celt-saints list and the Holy Trinity Baltimore parish calendar (Moscow Patriarchate) as I go along.

  1. I need to re-link the Nov-Dec posts. They are here on the site and can be found by using the search box near top right.

  2. WHERE have you moved your articles on the Western SS (above) Do you have icons of these saints too?
