'''Saint Gregory of Nazianzus''' (AD 329 – AD 390), also known as Gregory the Theologian, was a [[Saints|saint]], bishop, theologian, and Doctor of the Church, revered as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs alongside [[Saint Basil the Great]] and [[Saint John Chrysostom]]. Born in [[Arius]], near Nazianzus, Cappadocia, to a wealthy Christian family, including his father Saint Gregory the Elder and mother Saint Nonna, he studied in Caesarea, Alexandria, and Athens, mastering rhetoric and philosophy. Befriending [[Saint Basil the Great]] in Athens, he embraced asceticism around AD 357, joining Basil’s monastery in Annesi, Pontus. Ordained priest in AD 362 and bishop of Sasima in AD 372, he reluctantly served as archbishop of Constantinople (AD 379–381), defending Nicene orthodoxy against Arianism at the First Council of Constantinople (AD 381). His *Theological Orations* and poetry, including *On the Son*, clarified Trinitarian doctrine. Retiring to Nazianzus in AD 381, he died there in AD 390 of natural causes. Canonized pre-Congregation, he was declared a Doctor of the Church in AD 1568 by [[Pope Pius V]]. His feast day is [[January 2]] in the Roman Catholic Church, [[January 25]] or [[January 30]] in the Eastern Orthodox Church. He is patron of poets, theologians, and Cappadocia.<ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=Gregory of Nazianzus |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_of_Nazianzus |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref><ref name="web5">{{cite web |title=St. Gregory of Nazianzus |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06780a.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref> | '''Saint Gregory of Nazianzus''' (AD 329 – AD 390), also known as Gregory the Theologian, was a [[Saints|saint]], bishop, theologian, and Doctor of the Church, revered as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs alongside [[Saint Basil the Great]] and [[Saint John Chrysostom]].
