'''Saint Basil the Great''' (c. 329–330 – January 1 or 2, 379), also known as Basil of Caesarea, was a [[Saints|saint]], bishop, monk, theologian, and Doctor of the Church, revered as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs alongside [[Saint Gregory of Nazianzus]] and [[Saint John Chrysostom]]. Born in [[Caesarea Mazaca]], Cappadocia, to a wealthy Christian family, including his parents Saint Basil the Elder and Saint Emmelia, and siblings Saint Gregory of Nyssa and Saint Macrina, he studied in Constantinople and Athens, mastering rhetoric and philosophy. After embracing asceticism around 356, he founded a monastic community in Annesi, Pontus, authoring the *Basilian Rule*, which shaped Eastern monasticism. Ordained bishop of Caesarea in 370, he combated Arianism, defended Nicene orthodoxy, and organized charity, establishing the *Basiliad*, a hospital and poorhouse. His writings, including *On the Holy Spirit*, *Hexaemeron*, and numerous letters, clarified Trinitarian theology. He died of natural causes in Caesarea in 379. Canonized pre-Congregation, he was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1568 by [[Pope Pius V]]. His feast day is [[January 2]] in the Roman Catholic Church, [[January 1]] in the Eastern Orthodox Church. He is patron of hospital administrators, reformers, monks, education, exorcists, and Cappadocia.<ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=Basil of Caesarea |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_of_Caesarea |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref><ref name="web5">{{cite web |title=St. Basil the Great |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02330b.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref> | '''Saint Basil the Great''' (c. 329–330 – January 1 or 2, 379), also known as Basil of Caesarea, was a [[Saints|saint]], bishop, monk, theologian, and Doctor of the Church, revered as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs alongside [[Saint Gregory of Nazianzus]] and [[Saint John Chrysostom]].
