The saints behind the name

• Anastasios the Confessor

  March 10, Hierarch, Αναστάσιος

  St. Anastasios was a hierarch of the Church of Jerusalem who bore the title of confessor, one who suffered for the faith without denying Christ. The synaxaria preserve little of his life beyond his faithful witness in a time when the Church was tried by heresy and persecution.
