Life

Holy Hierarch Anatolius was a bishop in Scotland in the 9th century. After a pilgrimage to Rome he settled as a hermit at Salins in the Jura in France, where a church was later dedicated to him.

No other details of his life are preserved in the sources at hand. He is commemorated on 3 February, by the Western calendar (new style), as a saint of the undivided Church. He is not to be confused with Anatolius, bishop of Cahors.
