Anastasius II of Antioch
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Anastasius II of Antioch, also known as Anastasius the Younger, succeeded Anastasius of Antioch as Bishop of Antioch, in 599. He is known for his opposition and suppression of simony in his diocese, with the support of Pope Gregory the Great. In 609 Anastasius is said to have been murdered during an uprising of Syrian Jews against Emperor Phocas, although Persian soldiers have also been suggested.[1] [2]
Anastasius is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn St. Peter's Square.
