☦️ Orthodox Feast of St. Basil, 01 January - A Towering Figure In Early Christianity

Saint Basil, whose feast day is on January 1, is always remembered by the Greek people as the figure who bore gifts and helped children, the poor, and the underprivileged around Christmastime.

This is not terribly difficult to understand since Saint Basil was a towering figure in the early days of Christianity in that part of the world.
