link to St. Basil's in Moscow
Basil's memory is celebrated on [[January 1]]; he is also remembered on [[January 30]] with the [[Three Holy Hierarchs]]. In Greek tradition, he is supposed to visit children and give presents every [[January 1]]. This festival is also marked by the baking of Saint Basil's bread (Gr. ''Vasilópita''), a sweetbread with a coin hidden inside.
He should not be confused with Saint [[Basil the Blessed]], fool for Christ, a Russian [[saint]], after whom [[St. Basil's Cathedral(Moscow)|St. Basil's Cathedral]], on Red Square in Moscow, is named.
He also should not be confused with Saint [[Basil of Ostrog]], a Serbian [[saint]], who built the [[Ostrog Monastery]] which is caved in and stands on a very high hill between Danilovgrad and Niksic.
