Synaxarion of our Venerable Father Anthimos the New Ascetic of Kefallonia


Synaxarion

By Priest Haralambos Floriou (+ late 18th cent.)

On the 4th of this month [September], we commemorate our Venerable Anthimos of Kefallonia, the New Ascetic, Father and Protector of Astypalaia.

Verses

As a flower of the Spirit, O Anthimos,
You make fragrant the souls of those who honor you,
As a most-fragrant flower in Paradise,
There spring, without a change exists.
Destiny seized the Chief-Shepherd Anthimos on the fourth.
