Feast, Saints, A Thought for the Day and Fasting Calendar

The Three Great Hierarchs and Ecumenical Teachers: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom (January 30)

Let us all come together and honor with songs of praise those three great stars of the threesunned Trinity, who illuminated the universe with rays of divine doctrines; those rivers of wisdom flowing with honey, who watered the whole universe with streams of divine knowledge, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and glorious John the golden-tongued; for they shall intercede with the Trinity for our sakes, Who love their sayings. (Apolytikion in Tone 1)
