Life
Saint Anthimus the Confessor was Cretan by birth and metropolitan of Athens and Euripos, and fell asleep in the year 1371. He has no known day of commemoration.
During the Latin rule of Euboea, between 1339 and 1366, he was the hierarch of the metropolis of Euboea (Chalkis) as metropolitan of Athens and Euripos. In the Synodikon of the diocese of Souareth (Rethymno) in Crete he is called blessed in these words: Anthimus, metropolitan of Athens and Euripos, president of Crete, the confessor, may his memory be eternal.
