Excerpt from Justorum Semita, or the Path of the Just: A History of the Saints and Holydays of the Present English Kalendar
Every national Church has its own Kalendar. Many of these are very ancient, as for example we read Of a Roman Kalendar in the middle of the fourth century. Before that time it was the custom of the Christians to commemorate the Martyrs yearly upon the days on which they suffered. A record Of these was kept in each church, and was called a Kalendar. At first it contained only the names of the martyrs, but afterwards the holy Confessors were added, who had witnessed a good confession for Christ, though they had not been honoured to die for Him.
