Master Menologion Project

A comprehensive index of fixed-date feasts and saints commemorated in the Eastern Orthodox Church, including alternate spellings and dates for both the Gregorian and Julian calendars. 

Note: Titles such as "Venerable" and "Greatmartyr" are in a separate column for ease of sorting the data alphabetically by name. If the "Title" field is blank for a certain entry, the correct title is assumed to be "saint".

Another note: This is, and always will be, an ongoing project. Compiling a truly complete menologion — one listing every saint and feast in all of the combined autocephalous Orthodox Churches — is impossible. Furthermore, it's crucial to know that, even within the same Autocephalous Church, there is sometimes disagreement about the rank of a commemoration due to local traditions and parish customs. This spreadsheet is not intended to be authoritative in every place and circumstance, but provides a fascinating overview of how various Churches organize their commemorations. 

 

This present list is comprehensive, to the best of our ability, acknowledging that there is only One perfect. and we are not Him. Please pray for us!
