-Peter was born about the year 340, the youngest child of Basil the Elder and wife Emmelia (Emily). As he grew up, his eldest sister, Macrina the Younger, greatly influenced his religious training, directing him toward a spiritual and ascetic life. He devoted himself to meditation on the [[Holy Scripture]] and preparation for a religious life. After his brother, Basil the Great, was elevated to the [[see]] of Caesarea, he [[ordination|ordained]] Peter to the [[priest]]hood, but Peter continued the life of a solitary [[ascetic]]. Peter remained close to his mother and sister, and helped them in founding a [[monastery]] after his father died.

 About 380, Peter was elevated to the see of Sebaste in Armenia. Little is known of his activities as bishop other than he was united with his brothers in their Orthodoxy. Peter joined with his brothers, Basil and Gregory, in a common stand against the [[heresy|heresies]] of [[Arianism]] and [[Macedonianism]] and participated in the Second Ecumenical Council in [[Constantinople]] in 381.

 While Peter was not a writer, he inspired his brother Gregory to write such works as “''Against Eunomius''”, “''Treatise on the Work of the Six Days''”, and “''On the Endowment of Man''”. Peter reposed in 391 and began to be honored as a saint soon afterward.
