Compilation and Translation by Holy Apostles Convent
“Our father among the saints, Basil the Great, flourished during the years of the Emperor Valens (r. 329). He was born circa 329 of wealthy and noble parents: Basil of Pontus and Emmelia of Cæsarea in Cappadocia. A great personal friend of St. Basil, St. Gregory the Theologian (c. 329/330-c. 390), Patriarch of Constantinople (380), in a panegyric on the saint, mentions that during the most frightful persecution of Maximinus, the paternal ancestors of St. Basil exercised every form of piety during that period.” —“On this day the 1st of January the Holy Church Commemorates our Father among the Saints, Basil the Great, Archbishop of Cæsarea in Cappadocia”
