Anastasius of Suppentonia

Venerable Anastasius was abbot of the monastery of Suppentonia (today Castel Sant'Elia in Italy) and died in the year 570. He is commemorated on 11 January.

The reports about his life come from Saint Pope Gregory the Great, who writes in the Dialogues that an angel appeared and announced to Anastasius and his brethren their approaching end. Anastasius and all his monks died, one after another, within the next eight days.

Saint Nonnosus was one of these monks.

No other details of his life or relics have been preserved in the sources at hand. He lived before the separation of the Churches, and so he is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church.
