Serbian Orthodox Church - St Basil the Confessor

SerbianOrthodoxChurch.net

In a time of iconoclasm, this virtuous man was bishop in the city of Parius in Asia Minor. He refused to sign the imperial order against the veneration of icons, for which he was greatly persecuted and tor-tured. But he remained firm as diamond in his Orthodoxy. He died in the first half of the 8th century, and went to the Lord.
