Ὁ Ὅσιος Βασίλειος ὁ Ὁμολογητὴς ἔζησε καὶ ἔδρασε ἐπὶ τοῦ εἰκονομάχου αὐτοκράτορα Λέοντος Γ’ τοῦ Ἰσαύρου (717 – 741 μ.Χ.). Ἀπὸ νεαρὴ ἡλικία ὁ Ὅσιος ἀφιερώθηκε στὸν ἀσκητικὸ βίο καὶ ἐκάρη μοναχός. Ἔγινε μαθητὴς καὶ ὑποτακτικὸς τοῦ Ὁσίου Προκοπίου τοῦ Δεκαπολίτου († 27 Φεβρουαρίου). Ἀρχικὰ ζοῦσε σὲ κάποιο ἐρημητήριο καὶ ἀφοῦ προηγουμένως καλλιέργησε μὲ ἐπιμέλεια τὴν ἀσκητικὴ ζωή, ἀργότερα, ὅταν ἀνέκυψε ἡ αἵρεση κατὰ τῶν ἱερῶν εἰκόνων, ἀντιστάθηκε μὲ πνευματικὴ ἀνδρεία στοὺς εἰκονομάχους. Γιὰ τὸν λόγο αὐτὸ συνελήφθη, τιμωρήθηκε καὶ ὑπέστη πολλὰ βασανιστήρια. Ὅταν δέ, πέθανε ὁ αὐτοκράτορας, ἀπελευθερώθηκε καὶ ἀφοῦ βγῆκε ἀπὸ τὴ φυλακή, φρόντιζε γιὰ τὴν καλλιέργεια τῆς ἀρχαίας ὑγείας τῆς εὐσέβειας, παρακινώντας πολλοὺς πρὸς τὴν ἀρετὴ καὶ ἐπαναφέροντάς τους πρὸς τὴν ὀρθόδοξη πίστη.If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
