Saint Paisios of Mount Athos

- 12 July, his falling asleep in 1994
- Patron of
Paisios was born Arsenios at Pharasa in Cappadocia in 1924 and baptised by Saint Arsenios of Cappadocia, and in Greece he became a carpenter and an army radio operator. Prayer, he said later, was like the radio contact of those days: “The more we pray, the more we feel secure, on a spiritual basis, of course.” He went to Mount Athos in 1953 and lived most of his life there as a monk, and so many people came to his cell at Panagouda that markers were set up to show them the way. He bore his last illness, a cancer, without complaint and died in 1994; in 2015 the Ecumenical Patriarchate numbered him among the saints.

瞻礼日、两个历法与主保圣人
圣人的瞻礼日是教会每年在敬礼中纪念该圣人的日子，对于大多数圣人而言，这一天是他们的忌日。这些日子是基督教历法中最古老的纪念日：继复活节、五旬节，以及四世纪出现的圣诞节和主显节之后，教会最早守的瞻礼便是宗徒和殉道者的纪念日。
在查找器中，许多圣人有两个日期，这是因为西方教会和正教会历经数世纪分别建立了各自的历法。有时他们会在不同的日子纪念同一位圣人：西方教会于10月28日纪念圣犹达与圣西满，而正教会则在6月19日纪念圣犹达。一些正教会（如俄罗斯正教会）至今仍沿用旧儒略历，该历法目前比我们通用的公历晚十三天，因此他们的12月6日对应我们的12月19日。若出现这种情况，查找器会同时提供两个日期。
主保圣人是教会为特定地点、工作或需求而祈求其代祷的圣人，正如旧版《天主教百科全书》所言，是“在天主前的特别代祷者和合适的辩护人”。有些主保身份是由教宗宣布的，例如庇护九世于1870年宣布圣若瑟为普世教会主保；而大多数主保身份源于悠久的传统，如圣安多尼与失物寻找。
我们根据人们搜索最多的名字、需求和日期选择了这两百位圣人，并增补了正教基督徒所尊崇的圣人和宗徒。条目中的每一项事实均来自我们核实过的来源，并在条目下方注明：包括《天主教百科全书》、美国正教会的圣人传记、梵蒂冈新闻网以及圣座的官方文件。若某位圣人的事迹主要源于传说，条目中会予以说明。
