Life
Venerable Anf, a monk, is commemorated on 25 December. The time and place of his life are not known. He is mentioned in several Greek synaxaria, which say that he reposed in peace. His verse was translated into Slavonic in the Verse Prologue in the first half of the fourteenth century (apparently by Serbs on Athos) and placed in the Great Menaion Reader. His name is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
