Anthion

Saint Anthion fell asleep in peace.

The verse of the synaxarion compares him to a divine tree with beautiful leaves, whose leaves fall with the flowing away of the flesh. No other details of his life, or of the place or time in which he lived, are preserved. In one calendar he is commemorated on 26 June together with John, bishop of Gothia. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
