    St. Basil the Great Pendant

    Saint Basil, one of the four great Doctors of the East, was born at Caesarea in Asia Minor. His parents, as well as his paternal grandparents, two of his brothers and one sister are all honored as Saints. After attending the schools in Caesarea and Constantinople, St. Basil then studied in Athens, and there met again St. Gregory Nazianzen, whom he had first met in Caesarea; they became staunch friends.

    Upon completion of his studies, St. Basil was regarded in Athens as an oracle both in sacred and profane learning. He returned to Caesarea an opened a school of oratory, and was prevailed upon to plead at the bar. Seeing himself applauded by his countrymen, and dreading the honors of the world, he determined to renounce the world. His holy sister Macrina, and his friend Gregory Nazianzen, encouraged him in his resolution.

    Living a Monastic Life

    After visiting some monasteries and hermits in Egypt, Palestine and Syria, St. Basil founded a monastery on the river Iris, in Pontus, and became the father of monastic life in the East. His Rule is followed, even today, by all oriental Monks. Alarmed at the dangers of the Church on account of the Arian heretics, who were supported by the Court, when his Bishop summoned him from his retirement, St. Basil hastened to defend the Church against their heretical teachings. Upon his arrival in Caesarea he opposed the Arians with so much prudence and courage they were obliged to desist from their pretensions with shame and confusion.

    St. Basil preached to his people daily, morning and evening; throngs came to listen to him, and Cappadocia was saved for the Catholic Faith. In 370 he was consecrated Archbishop of Caesarea, and lived in the greatest poverty possible, fasted, performed great austerities, and prayed continually. Peace was restored to the Church in 378 by Emperor Gratian. That same year St. Basil fell sick and prepared himself for his passage to eternity. The entire populace was grief-stricken when their holy Archbishop died on January 1, 379.
