Saint Luke of Hellas
A poor farmers’ son who gave his food to the poor and became a hermit at Steiris

- 7 February (20 February on the old calendar)
Luke was the son of poor farmers in a Greek village, and as a boy he so often gave his own food and clothes to the poor that his parents reproached him. He lived as a hermit on Mount Ioannou and elsewhere, served a stylite at Patras for ten years, and was driven from place to place by invading armies before settling at Steiris, where brothers gathered round him and a small monastery grew up. When the brothers asked where he wished to be buried he told them, "Throw my body into a ravine to be eaten by wild beasts," and he died on 7 February 946; a church was later built over his tomb.

Дни памяти, два календаря и святые покровители
День памяти святого — это день в году, когда Церковь вспоминает этого святого в своем богослужении; для большинства святых это день их кончины. Это одни из самых древних дней в христианском календаре: после Пасхи и Пятидесятницы, а также Рождества и Богоявления в IV веке, следующими праздниками, которые стала отмечать Церковь, стали дни памяти апостолов и мучеников.
У многих святых в поиске указаны две даты, поскольку Западная и Православная церкви на протяжении многих веков составляли свои календари независимо друг от друга. Иногда они вспоминают одного и того же святого в разные дни: на Западе день святого Иуды отмечается вместе со святым Симоном 28 октября, в то время как в Православной церкви — 19 июня. Некоторые православные церкви, например, Русская, до сих пор придерживаются старого юлианского календаря, который сейчас отстает от нашего на тринадцать дней, поэтому их 6 декабря приходится на наше 19 декабря. В таких случаях в поиске указываются обе даты.
Святой покровитель — это святой, к которому Церковь обращается за помощью в определенном месте, деле или нужде, «особый заступник перед Богом и надлежащий ходатай», как сказано в старой Католической энциклопедии. Некоторые покровительства были установлены папой римским, как, например, когда Пий IX провозгласил святого Иосифа покровителем всей Церкви в 1870 году; большинство же возникло из давней традиции, как в случае со святым Антонием и потерянными вещами.
Мы выбрали первые двести святых на основе того, что люди ищут чаще всего: по имени, по нужде и по дате, а также добавили святых, которых почитают православные христиане, и апостолов. Затем мы добавили по одному святому для каждого из 138 дней, в которые их не было, чтобы теперь на каждый день года приходился хотя бы один святой, и еще сорок святых, которых люди ищут чаще всего: всего 378 записей. Каждый факт в записи взят из проверенного нами источника, указанного под ней: Католической энциклопедии, житий святых Православной Церкви в Америке, Vatican News и собственных документов Святого Престола. Там, где история святого дошла до нас в основном в виде легенды, в записи об этом сказано.
