Martyr priest Basil of Ancyra is commemorated on March 22 and June 28 by the Eastern Orthodox Church. Very meager information about his life is preserved in a metaphrastic work: “Life and Deeds of the Martyred Priest Basil.” He lived in the 4th century in Byzantium in Ancyra (Ankara). He fought against the pagans and the Arians. Priest Basil was martyred by the order of Julian the Apostate.
