January 30th - Feast Day of The Three Hierarchs

     

Although our Church has a special day to honor and commemorate St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian and St. John Chrysostom, we also have the 30th day of January to honor them together.  The Greek work Hierarch means Bishop. 

 

The Three Hierarchs are considered the Patron Saints of education and culture, because they used the art of education and the Greek classics to teach about God.    Honored as “Doctors” of the Church, Sts. Basil, Gregory and John were intellectual giants of equal stature, serving God and man with an equally high level of devotion and spirit.
