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.
