Today our Church honors the memory of St. Anatolius, Patriarch of Constantinople the Poet, and of the Martyrs Hyacinth, Theodotus, Theodota, Diomedes, Eulampius and Asclepiodotus.
Saint Anatolius, who was a priest and representative of the Church of Alexandria in Constatntinople, became Patriarch of Constantinople in 449 AD.
On the patriarchal throne, he was proposed by the monophysite Patriarch of Alexandria Dioscorus I, hoping that he would serve him as an accomplice and supporter in his theological misbelief.
However, he did not succeed in carrying out his plans, for Anatolius was the first to sign the resignation of the misbeliever Patriarch Dioscorus during the Fourth Ecumenical Council, which met in Chalcedon (451 AD) and included in the diptychs name of St. Flavian, patriarch of Constantinople, who had been ousted by Dioscorus during the pillaging (ie invalid) Council of Ephesus in 449 AD.
In addition, St. Anatolius sent letters to all the bishops to curse the heretical monophysites, with the prospect of securing the Orthodox Faith of the Church crew.
Patriarch Anatolius, after pasturing the people of God with an Orthodox mind and managing the spiritual and administrative affairs of the Church in the best possible way, was unjustly killed by the fanatical heretics in 458 AD.
