To this end, we are providing some extra information on how to reach the monks on line or by mail.

St. Basil the Great was born in 329 in Cappadocia in what is now Turkey. Son of devout (and sainted) parents and brother of St. Gregory of Nyssa, he was educated in Constantinople before travelling throughout the Christian world studying the burgeoning monastic movement. His writings on monasticism were greatly influential not only in the Eastern church but in translation on St. Benedict in the creation of his order. Dedicated to eradication the Arian heresy, he died on January 1, 379.
