Basil: On Giving Thanks
Note: this homily was already read during Cheesefare week. It is read again here because of its connection to St. Basil’s homily On the Martyr Julitta, which was delivered by St. Basil on the day after delivering this homily On Giving Thanks and concludes arguments he began here. The homily On the Martyr Julitta will be read tomorrow in celebration of the feast of the holy martyr Julitta.

Note: Ælfric of Eynsham was an English abbot who lived circa AD 955 – circa AD 1010. These dates are shortly before the somewhat-arbitrary date we assign the Great Schism of 1054 and Ælfric himself is not considered a saint of the Orthodox Church (or for that matter of the Roman Catholic Church), so one ought not read him uncritically. Nevertheless, Ælfric’s stated goal is to “translate” the full tradition of the Fathers “for the edification… of simple people who know only this language [Old English],” which points to his chief value for us, which is the presentation of the Faith in the English context that many of us consider our own heritage.
