Are there any Eastern Catholic Churches who recognize and venerate St Photius the Great as a "saint"? Is he on any Eastern Catholic calendars?

St Photius the Patriarch of Constantinople's day on the Ruthenian Catholic Liturgical Calendar in February 6th. I do not have the Melkite Calendar handy but I believe it is the same.

Saint Photius of Constantinople is also found in the large liturgicon published by the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Eparchy of Parma, approved by Patriarch Myroslav-Ivan and Bishop Robert-Michael; this book also gives 6 February as the feast.

Let us remember that Photius was reconciled with the Apostolic See of Rome!

St. Photius was also the son of iconodules who suffered during the iconoclast persecutions. I am not sure if he too suffered as a confessor of the faith during the reign of that Imperial heresy.
