Local councils, NPNF II.14
Chapter 51
The nativities of Martyrs are not to be celebrated in Lent, but commemorations of the holy Martyrs are to be made on the Sabbaths and Lord’s days.
Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon LI
Commemorations of Martyrs shall only be held on Lord’s days and Sabbaths.
Balsamon
The whole of Lent is a time of grief for our sins, and the memories of the Saints are not kept except on the Sabbaths.
