Life

Saint Anthony the Hieromartyr is commemorated on 14 May (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) together with those who suffered with him. The English calendar places on this day the commemoration of the martyrs killed by the Poles in the year 1609: Abbot Anthony with forty monks and a thousand laymen of the monastery of Saint Paisius of Uglich, and Abbot Daniel with thirty monks and two hundred laymen of the monastery of Saint Nicholas at Kostroma; the sources do not say plainly that these are the same as those in the Greek calendar.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life.
