Ananias of Damascus
Feast · apostle
- 25 January (Roman Catholic Church)
- 1 October (Eastern Orthodox Church)
The disciple sent to baptise Saul. The two churches remember him by opposite logics: Rome keeps him on 25 January, which is the feast of the Conversion of Paul itself, so he is commemorated on the day of the thing he did; Byzantium gives him 1 October, a day of his own, and counts him among the Seventy.
After The Typikon, ch. 48, the Menaion — 1 October, «Ст҃а́гѡ а҆пⷭ҇ла а҆на́нїи, є҆ди́нагѡ ѿ седми́десѧти», p. 179.
