This Saint Basil the Great prayer card commemorates the Archbishop of Caesarea (c. 329–379), one of the most important Fathers of the Church. Known as a defender of the Nicene Creed, he wrote extensively on the Holy Spirit and helped preserve the true faith during a time of great heresy and division.
Saint Basil is venerated in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Byzantine Catholic Churches, and the Orthodox Church as one of the three Cappadocian Fathers. He also established the Rule of Saint Basil, which became the foundation of Eastern monastic life. Recognized as a Doctor of the Church in both East and West, his influence continues to shape Christian theology and devotion today.
This prayer card is ideal for daily devotion, parish use, or as a meaningful gift for those with a devotion to the Fathers of the Church and the Byzantine tradition.
Tradition: Melkite Greek Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, Orthodox, and Roman Catholic
Feast Day: January 1 (Byzantine), January 2 (Roman Catholic), January 30 (with the Three Holy Hierarchs)
Title: Archbishop of Caesarea, Cappadocian Father, Doctor of the Church
Veneration: Honored across the Eastern and Western Churches
The Saint Basil the Great prayer card is a reminder of the power of faith, the importance of defending truth, and the legacy of holiness that shaped the Church for generations.
