change Feast Day details to reflect Orthodox usage and not western usage - when people transfer articles from Wikipedia they should modify to suit an Orthodox agenda and not Catholic ???
Hieromartyr '''Basil of Ancyra''', was a [[bishop]] in Ancyra, Galatia, (now Ankara, Turkey) during the fourth century. Originally, a member of the 'moderate' [[Semi-Arianism|Semi-Arian]] party he took a leading part in the [[Council of Seleucia]], but recanted the Semi-Arian formula and defended his orthodoxy against the threats of Emperor [[Julian the Apostate]], and died a [[martyr]]. He is commemorated on by the Orthodox church [[March 22January 1]] (and [[January 1March 22]]in the West, see ''Notes on sources'').
