Life
Holy Right-Believing Basil I the Macedonian was Byzantine emperor from 867 to 886 and died at Constantinople in 886.
His name does not appear in the synaxaria; his commemoration is found only in Gedeon's Byzantine Heortologion (p. 161). As founder and restorer of many churches and monasteries, Basil was placed among the saints in some menologia, for his piety and for the way he adorned the capital with sacred buildings, to the glory of God. The synaxarion of the Church of Greece commemorates him on 29 August (new style), among the venerable.
