Life

Holy Martyr Anthony is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 12 November (new style), together with Germanus and Nicephorus.

The commemoration is tied to the group that the calendar keeps on 20 October: Zebinas, Germanus, Nicephorus and Antoninus, martyrs of Caesarea in the time of Maximian. According to the synaxarion, Antoninus was an old man and the other three were young; seized as Christians by a certain Mazus, they were beheaded. On 12 November their memory is repeated. About Anthony the sources consulted contain no other details.
