Saint Basil the Confessor
Monk (
750 Anno Domini A.D.) Feast: 28 February
Saint Basil the Confessor was a monk & suffered during the reign of the iconoclast emperor Leo the Isaurian (717-741 A.D.). When a persecution started against those who venerated holy icons, Saint Basil & his companion Saint Procopius of Decapolis (February 27) were subjected to much torture & locked up in prison

Both Saint Basil and Saint Procopius languished in prison for a long while, until the death of the impious emperor ☠️
When the holy Confessors Basil and Procopius were set free along with other venerators of holy icons, they continued in their monastic struggles ⛪ instructing many in the Christian Faith and the virtuous life. Saint Basil died peacefully in the year 750 A.D.
