Life

Saint Anthony of Gerace is a saint of Calabria, from around the tenth century, venerated in the town of Gerace, in the old region of Locri, in southern Italy. At that time Calabria belonged to the Byzantine world, and the Church there kept the Greek rite and language.

We have no reliable account of his deeds or his death; our only witness is the veneration kept in Gerace, as a saint of the undivided Church.
