Life

Saint Antony was one of three monks, Antony, Merulus and John, of the monastery of Saint Andrew on the Caelian Hill in Rome in the sixth century.

Their abbot was Saint Gregory the Great, who left an account of their virtues and miraculous power. No other details of Antony are preserved in the sources available to us.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 17 January (new style) together with the other two.

Commemorated the same day January 17
