medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A propos Matt's citation from Wikipedia: statements identifying a particular day as someone's feast day that do not also identify one or more ecclesiastical calendars as being that or those within which the feast occurs on that day impeach themselves through their failure to recognize the existence of a multiplicity of such calendars, not all of which may commemorate someone on the same day (or at all). In the Greek Orthodox and other Eastern-rite churches Paul the Confessor's feast day tends to fall on 6. November. The latter is also the day of this saint's commemoration in the Roman Martyrology and has been since the latter's revision promulgated in 2001. Previously the RM had commemorated him under 7. June, the date on which he is now celebrated in the Église Orthodoxe de France.
Some medieval images of Paul of Constantinople / Paul the Confessor:
a) Paul of Constantinople (at right; at left, St. Eutychius of Constantinople) as depicted in the late thirteenth-century frescoes (ca. 1295) by Eutychios and Michael Astrapas in the church of the Peribleptos (now Sv. Kliment Ohridski) in Ohrid:

c) Paul of Constantinople's martyrdom as depicted in a November calendar scene in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. 1335 and 1350) of the narthex of the church of the Holy Ascension at the Visoki Dečani monastery near Peć in, depending on one's view of the matter, either the Republic of Kosovo or Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija:

Paul became involved in the Arian controversy which drew in the Emperor of the West, Constans, and his counterpart in the East, his brother Constantius II. Paul was installed and deposed three times from the See of Constantinople between 337 and 351. He was murdered by strangulation during his third and final exile in Cappadocia. His feast day is on June 7 “ (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_I_of_Constantinople)
