Anthony Kologodsky

Holy Venerable Anthony Kologodsky, also called Anthony of Kushta, was an ascetic of the fifteenth century in the region of Vologda. He is commemorated on 6 March, by the old calendar.

The Hagiology of the East by Archimandrite Sergius places him among the Russian saints in manuscript calendars who were not canonized, under the name "Anthony of Kushta, wonderworker of Vologda". The Kushta monastery, founded by Venerable Alexander (9 June), stood forty versts from Vologda and was abolished in the seventeenth century; the author of the menologion wonders whether Anthony is not the same as Alexander. The Synaxis of the Saints of Vologda has him in the fifteenth century and on 6 March. No other details of his life survive.
