AUGUST 09
The Martyr Anthony, a native of the city of Alexandria, was a Christian. For his confession of faith they tied him to a tree and tore at his body with iron hooks, and then sentenced him to burning. Standing in the fire, he calmly exhorted those standing about to toil not for body for soul in aspiring towards God. After the fire flared up, the body of the saint remained unharmed. The time of his death is unknown.
