Today is Friday of the fifth week of Great Lent, April 7th A.D. 2017 according to the Gregorian Calendar.
Today is Bright Thursday of Bright Week in Great Lent, April 20th A.D. 2017 according to the Julian Calendar.
Today is the Twelfth day of Baramouda, during Great Lent in the Coptic Year 1734.
So I now have three beautiful sources to provide me with all the daily Synaxis of Holy Ones and Commemorations - For Roman Catholic Christian Saints, Catholic Saints dot info, For Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Catholic Christians, Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church's wonderful online calendar, and now with warmth and charity, I introduce an absolutely beautiful source I've discovered, The daily Synaxarium for Coptic Orthodox Catholic Christians found at Coptic Church dot net.
I am elated to now be able to include the daily commemorations and Saints for the Oriental Orthodox Catholic Christian Churches now as well as the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Christian Churches and all of the Roman and Eastern Catholic Christian Churches of God!
Glory be to thee, O Undivided Trinity!
O Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, glory to thee O God!
I can now create Litanies to all the Saints of God who are forever in Paradise who when they lived in the flesh were members of the Western Catholic or Eastern Catholic or Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox Apostolic Church Communions! What a glorious feeling to invoke Saints who cover the earth who lived all over the entire earth! What a truly Catholic feeling I have right now!
If anyone knows where I could find a Synaxis for the Assyrian/Ancient Catholic Churches of the East, I would love to include them and invoke the glorious Saints who lived in far eastern lands through the years!
I will pay homage to my Assyrian brothers and sisters by quickly invoking some well known Assyrian Christian holy ones:
