瓦西里出生于君士坦丁大帝统治时期。他在雅典的十五年间研修了哲学、修辞学、天文学和当时其他非宗教性的学科，期间，他仍没有接受浸礼。圣瓦西里当时的同学有格里高利和后来叛教的皇帝犹利安。瓦西里在年迈之际同他以前的老师尤里奥斯一同在约旦河接受了浸礼。他在卡帕多西亚的恺撒利亚担任主教长达十年的时间，五十岁时安息主怀。他是东正教伟大的护卫者、纯洁的道德之光，他热心追求真道、具有丰厚的神学造诣，他是上帝的教会伟大的建设者和栋梁与柱石。瓦西里被称为“伟大者”，在礼仪事奉中，他被称为“基督教会的蜜蜂，为虔诚的信徒带来甘美，对异端给予迎头痛击。”这位教会伟大的教父留下了大量的著作，包括神学、护教学、修道学和教规等方面的论述，以及以他的名字命名的神圣事奉圣礼。此事奉圣礼每年举行十次：主显月一日（圣瓦西里纪念日）、主降生节前夕、主显节前夕（若主降生节前夕或主显节前夕遇安息日或者主日时，则于主降生节及主显节本日举行大圣瓦西里事奉圣礼）、四旬大斋内各主日（除葩斯哈前的圣枝主日外）、圣周内的大瞻礼五（主奥秘晚餐之事奉圣礼）和大安息日。圣瓦西里于公元379年主显月一日安息主怀，魂归天国。
