St Basil the Confessor, Bishop of Parium
Basil, chosen bishop of Parium by its people who honored him as a true shepherd, lived in the time of the war on the holy icons. He stood firmly for their veneration and refused to sign the iconoclast decree of the council of 754 under Constantine Copronymus, keeping the heretics out of his diocese and shunning all dealing with them.
