Saint Basil Day or the Feast of Saint Basil The Great is observed in early January every year. The occasion is celebrated across Christian communities on different dates. While the Eastern Churches mark the day on the first of the month adding to the New Year festivities, the West holds celebrations a day later. St. Basil Day is predominantly commemorated by Orthodox Christians who perform the Liturgy of the saint on this day remembering him.
About Saint Basil
The significance of this day is integral to his observance. The day remembers the death of Basil of Caesarea. It is believed that the saint is a forefather of the Greek Orthodox Church and is known for caring for the poor. He is also reportedly credited with defining the terms ‘ousia’ (essence/substance) and ‘hypostasis’ (person/reality).
You might be aware of Russia's iconic landmark in Moscow that pays tribute to the saint - The Saint Basil's Cathedral. Built during the 16th century, it happens to be a tourist attraction these days and serves as a museum filled with rich history and heritage.
