October 22 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics)
Day in the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar
October 22 in Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendars is a feast day and a day of commemoration of saints and martyrs. Although some Orthodox churches use the Revised Julian Calendar and others use the traditional Julian calendar, the fixed commemorations for their respective October 22 are broadly the same, no matter which calendar is used.
