On the 9th Day of Christmas, Our Lord gives us the feast of Saints Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen, bishops and doctors


 

On the 9th Day of Christmas, we are blessed with two of the most wonderful saints.  They are gift to our church in so many ways.  From Doctor of the Church to leaders in the Cappadocian  communities, they are "Super Saints" in my book.

Quick Overview is given Holy Spirit Interactive.  HSI is a great site that I recommend making a part of your regular reading.

For a more detailed presentation of the quotes and writings of the 2 saints, I recommend the Apostolic Apologetics below

Personal Perspective:
I have been blessed to travel to the caves of Cappadocia in Turkey.  They are breathtaking in every way.  However, up to 30,000 Christians lived in caves to avoid persecution.
