Geneology.Com Feast of St. Basil, January 2

St. Basil is a Doctor of the Church, but he comes from some serious Catholic stock:

Father : St. Basil the Elder
Mother : St. Emmelia of Caesarea
Grandmother : St. Marina the Elder
Brothers : St. Gregory of Nyssa and St. Peter of Sebaste
Sister : St. Macrina the Younger

Think about that the next time someone brags he is distantly related to Daniel Boone.
