What a church holiday tomorrow, March 7
March 7 in the church calendar is
the day of commemoration of the Great Martyr Theodore Tyrone, the holy martyrs, bishops in Chersonesus: Basil, Ephrem, Kapiton, Yevgeny and others
.
They preached on the territory of the Northern Black Sea region, from the Danube to the Dnipro, as well as on the territory of the autonomous republic of Crimea.
Bishop Basil was captured and driven out of the city by the pagans who inhabited these lands.
He went to the mountains, where he settled in a monastery, where he constantly prayed and asked God to forgive the infidels for their actions.
Then God sent a miracle.
One day, the son of one of the noble inhabitants of Chersonesus fell ill and died.
He came to his father in a dream and said that only Basil could resurrect him with his prayers.
The parents went to the cave the next day and asked Bishop Basil for help.
He replied that he himself is a sinner, and therefore cannot resurrect, but the Lord can, if they believe in Him.
Then Vasiliy prayed for a long time, consecrated the water and sprinkled it on the deceased.
He got up and went to the city, as if he was just sleeping.
Unfortunately, in 309, Bishop Basil was beaten to death by pagans in another settlement.
