Damasci natalis beati Joannis Damasceni, Presbyteri, Confessoris et Ecclesiae Doctoris, doctrina et sanctitate celebris. Hic, pro cultu sanctarum Imaginum, verbo et scriptis adversus Leonem Isauricum strenue decertavit; cujus Imperatoris ob calumnias cum ipsi Joanni dextera manus a Saracenorum Principe amputata esset, idem, beatae Mariae Virgini, cujus Imagines defenderat, se commendans, protinus dexteram integram sanamque recepit. Ejus autem festivitas sexto Kalendas Aprilis celebratur.
