Today, November 17, Christians honor the memory of St. Gregory, Bishop of Neokesarii. He was born around 213-215 in Neocaesaria Pontia (on the territory of modern Turkey) in a wealthy and respectable family. At first, Grigoriy planned to devote himself to legal work, but his life changed after a trip to Caesarea Cappadocia. There he met the famous theologian Origen and under his spiritual guidance acquired deep knowledge of the Holy Scriptures and theology.
Returning home after his studies, Grigory sought ascetic seclusion, but the local community unanimously elected him bishop of Neocaesaria, where only a small group of Christians lived at that time. According to legend, before the end of his earthly journey, almost the entire city converted to Christianity – so significant was his pastoral influence. Gregory the Wonderworker rested around 270. According to tradition, at the end of his life, only 17 pagans remained in the city – the same number of Christians at the beginning of his archpastoral ministry.
