Armenian church honors St. Gregory the Theologian

The Armenian Apostolic Church on Saturday commemorates St. Gregory the Theologian, also known as St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Qahana.am reports.

St. Gregory the Theologian was one of the most prominent figures of Christianity, who kept Christianity uncorrupted and greatly influenced the formulation of the Christian theologian ideology.

Gregory was born in 328 AD in the village of Arianzus near Nazianzus, in Cappadocia. He was the son of the Bishop Gregory. Gregory studied in Caesaria, and then in Athens. In Athens Gregory became acquainted with St. Barsegh of Ceasaria, one of the prominent figures of Christianity in the future.

After leading ascetic life for a while, Gregory returned to Nazianzus, where he was ordained as a priest by his father. Later he became the Bishop of Sasima. Together with St. Barsegh of Ceasaria St. Gregory the Theologian struggled against the Arians. He participated in the 2nd Ecumenical Council of Constantinople. St. Gregory passed away on January 25, 389 AD.
