Anastasius (Greek: Άναστάσιος) was a Christian convert who suffered martyrdom with Anthony, Julian, Celsus and Marcionilla, during the Diocletianic Persecution.[1] He is supposed to have converted after being raised from the dead by Saint Julian of Antioch. His memorial is on 9 January. Anastasius is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn St. Peter's Square. His relics are interred at the Ravanica Monastery in Serbia.
