Who they were

Saint Basil of Ancyra (Greek: Βασίλειος), was a Christian priest and saint in Ancyra, Galatia during the 4th century. Very little information about his life is preserved in a metaphrastic work: “Life and Deeds of the Martyred Priest Basil.” He fought against the teachings of the pagans and the Arians. Basil defended Bishop Marcellus against the prelate being deposed by the Arians.
