Life
Basil was a monk who has elected Bishop of Parium. In February 754 Emperor Constantine V convened a synod at Hieria to condemn the veneration of icons. Basil refused to sign the orders for their destruction.[2] With his pupil Procopius, Basil was imprisoned. Both languished in prison until the death of the emperor in 741, when they were released.[3] Basil died in 750 and is venerated February 28 (New Style; March 13 Old Style).
