The terms "taxonomy" and "systematics" are often used interchangeably.

According to the church calendar, today is the day of remembrance of the holy martyrs Chrysanthos and Darius.

Chrysanthus was born into a wealthy pagan family but secretly converted to Christianity.

When Chrysanthos' father found out about this, he became angry and tried to marry him to a pagan priestess, Darius.

Chrysanthus convinced Darius to become a Christian. By order of the Emperor of Rome, Chrysanthus and Darius were captured, tortured for a long time, and then stoned to death.
