: Generally, I think saints should be listed here by whatever English-speakers most often call them, not necessarily by Anglicized versions of the names.
:: I'm a little worried about this for "Emily" too -- most people know her as St. Emilia, no? [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]] ::: Or St. Emmelia. The OCA saints pages have it all three ways. --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 05:23, 14 Jan 2005 (CST) : One question I had was regarding the phrase "Our mother among the saints" -- for what type of saint is that? I'm familiar with the "father" version, which is for bishops. Martyred emale female monastics such as St. Maria (according to the Antiochian ''Liturgikon'', at any rate) would get "the holy and glorious Venerable-martyr N."
: See [[Saint commemorations]] for the list of forms. --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] 06:12, 13 Jan 2005 (CST)
:: Thanks for the tip. I don't think I had ever seen such a list before, so the various introductions seemed fluid rather than specific for the category of saint. St. Maria is both a nun and a martyr. I'm not sure what the difference is between ''martyr'' and ''venerable-martyr'', so I'll just fix it for martyr. The actual text of her glorification, as far I can see, did not give a specific introduction. I have not seen her listed in a synaxarion yet, though. --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 15:08, 13 Jan 2005 (CST)
::: A Venerable-martyr is a martyred monastic. --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] 15:12, 13 Jan 2005 (CST)

I hope noone minds, but I'm a big fan of material I can access online, so I added links to online versions of Mother Maria's writings that I've come across. {{User:Jlczuk/sig}} 20:56, March 17, 2006 (CST)
:Mind? Definitely not! Thanks John. {{User:FrJohn/sig}}
