BASILIAN COMMEMORATIONS
The Society of Clerks Secular of Saint Basil has many days to commemorate, many of
which are entered throughout the liturgical calendar. But the most important are the days
on which our brothers and sisters have fallen asleep in the Lord, when we should pray
Requiem for them.
For it is written: And making a gathering, he (the most valliant Judas) sent twelve thousand
drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking
well and religiously concerning the resurrection. (For if he had not hoped that they that were
slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) And
because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up
for them. It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be
loosed from sins. (2 Machabees 12:43-46)
Many records have been lost, and a multitude have died at times and in places we know
not. These are those we know. They are entered in the calendar and recapitulated here.
