Notes on August
- Mary, Mother of God (January 1) and Queenship of Mary (August 22) use the same Wikipedia article (Mary, mother of Jesus), so the app shows the same biography on both days.
- Nativity of John the Baptist (June 24) and Beheading of John the Baptist (August 29) use the same Wikipedia article (John the Baptist), so the app shows the same biography on both days.
- For Saints Pontian and Hippolytus (August 13), the app’s biography comes from the Wikipedia article on Pope Pontian.
Names are shown exactly as the app shows them. The day-to-saint matching loosely follows the General Roman Calendar of the Catholic Church, with some United States dates, so a saint may fall on another day in your local calendar. How the days are chosen.
