Saint :''Another saint called Gregory the Wonderworkerof the [[Monastery of the Kiev Caves|Kiev Near Caves]] is commemorated on [[January 8]]. Our father among the saints '''Gregory the Wonderworker''', also known as '''Gregory Thaumaturgus ''' or '''Gregory of Neocaesarea''', (ca. 213 – ca. 270 AD) was a Christian [[bishop ]] of the 3rd century. He is commemorated by the Church on [[November 17]].

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 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 Neocaesarea] (OCA)</ref> ==Hymns==[[Troparion]] ([[Tone]] 8) [http://www.oca.org/FSTropars.asp?SID=13&ID=103315]:You became worthy of your name through your way of life::Through your vigilance in prayer and your constant constant works of mercy.:Therefore, O Father Gregory, beseech [[Christ]] God to enlighten our minds,:That we may not sleep in sin, which leads to death! [[Kontakion]] (Tone 2) [http://www.oca.org/FSTropars.asp?SID=13&ID=103315]:You received the power to perform miracles,:Frightening the devils and healing the sick through your wonderworking. :All-wise Father Gregory,:Your deeds truly entitle you to be called "Wonderworker"! ==Reference==<references /> ==See also==*[[Missionary]] ==External Linkslinks==*[http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf06.iii.ii.html Gregory Thaumaturgus] his writings at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library*[http://web.archive.org/web/20010617133640/www.bhsu.edu/dsalomon/nyssa/thaum.html Archive of The Life of Gregory the Wonderworker] by St. Gregory of Nyssa, translated by Richard McCambly, with an introduction by David A.
