Life
Saint Anthusa the Martyr is commemorated on 22 February (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece). The Greek calendar lists her with Aristus, bishop of Arsinoe in Cyprus, and with Synetus. The English calendar remembers Anthusa and her twelve servants, who died by the sword.
The sources consulted give no other details about her life and do not make clear whether the two listings concern the same suffering.
