(Note - This The [[Theotokos]] and [[Apostle John]] appeared to St. Gregory in a dream, and taught him about the [[Holy Trinity]]. St. Gregory wrote down what was revealed to him.  :"The teaching about the Holy Trinity in Orthodox Theology is not theVenerable based on it. Subsequently it was used by the holy [[Church Fathers|Fathers of the Church]]: [[Basil the Great]], [[Gregory the Theologian]], and [[Gregory of Nyssa]]. The [[Symbol of Faith|Symbol]] of St Gregory of Neocaesarea was later examined and affirmed in the year 325 by the [[First Ecumenical Council]], showing his enduring significance for Orthodoxy."<ref>[http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsViewer.asp?SID=4&ID=1&FSID=103315 St Gregory the Wonderworker of the Kiev Near CavesNeocaesarea] (OCA)</ref>
