Life
Holy Venerable Bassian of Constantinople, called also Basil, was abbot of a monastery in Constantinople in the time of Emperor Marcian (450-457). He came from eastern Syria.
The community he led numbered nearly three hundred monks. Among them was Venerable Matrona, who lived in men's clothing (commemorated on 9 November). Bassian lived to a great old age in his monastery, became known for his virtuous life and many miracles, and then departed in peace to the Lord.
The saint is commemorated on 23 October, in the new style.
