Life
Venerable Martyr Anastasius the Deacon lived as an ascetic in the Near Caves of the Kiev Lavra. The hieromonk Athanasius the Sooty calls him the brother of Saint Titus the Presbyter (commemorated 27 February), and in the manuscripts of the saints he is called a deacon. The service for the Synaxis of the Fathers of the Near Caves says that he had such steadfastness in God that he received all he asked for. He is commemorated on 22 January (new style; 4 February on the old calendar), on 28 September and on the second Sunday of Great Lent.
