Sources
Data as code: every date and name mapping on this site traces back to one of the sources below. Nothing is hand-typed into a page without a citation living here first.
How we grade
- A / T1 — scholarly or primary (published synaxaria, official church calendars).
- B / T2 — expert or journalistic (a named specialist's analysis, an established masthead).
- C — community-published (forums, uncited compilations, self-caveated practitioner notes). Useful as a lead, not proof on its own.
The two-source rule
A feast date or name mapping earns a ✓ sourced badge only when two sources confirm it AND those two sources don't share ancestry — one can't simply be citing the other, or both citing the same upstream text. We track each source's lineage (what it derives from) and the build fails outright if a "verification pair" turns out to share an ancestor. Anything short of that — a single source, however good, or a mapping still resting on a judgment call — renders ⚠ unverified and stays out of the feeds until it's confirmed.
