Life
Holy Martyr Anatolius of Nicaea was one of three brothers, Eustathius, Thespesius and Anatolius, natives of Gangra in Asia Minor, who suffered at Nicaea in the time of the emperor Maximian, around the year 300, or around 312 by some reckonings. They were the sons of rich merchants whose parents were idolaters.
They were brought to the Christian faith by the presbyter Lucian of Antioch and were baptized at Nicomedia by Bishop Anthimus. Eustathius was ordained a deacon. Denounced to Maximian, they were subjected to terrible torments and were finally put to the sword.
The holy brothers are commemorated on 20 November.
