🔸 September 3 - Saint Anthimos of Nicomedia 🔸

Today we commemorate the Holy Hieromartyr Saint Anthimos, Bishop of Nicomedia. He shepherded the faithful of the city during the Nicomedia massacre of 304 AD, when 20,000 Christians were slaughtered by order of the pagan emperor Maximian (commemorated on December 28). During these intense persecutions, St Anthimos made haste to ensure that all the catechumens and infants were baptized, and that the faithful communed of the Holy Mysteries.

While 20,000 Christians were beheaded, drowned, and burned alive in the church by Maximian’s soldiers, St Anthimos escaped their fate. At the request of his flock, he hid himself in the village of Omana where he continued to send letters to the Christians, urging them to keep firmly the holy faith and not to fear tortures. One of these letters sent with Deacon Theophilos was intercepted and turned over to Emperor Maximian. Theophilos was cruelly questioned and died under torture without revealing Anthimos’ location.

When Maximian later learned the whereabouts of Bishop Anthimos, he sent a detachment of soldiers to arrest him. Anthimos met them along the way, but they did not recognize him. The bishop invited them for a meal, after which he revealed that he was the one they sought. The soldiers, moved by his hospitality and kindness, were prepared to spare him and even came to believe in Christ, receiving Holy Baptism. Anthimos however instructed them to carry out the emperor’s orders.

Brought before Maximian, the instruments of torture were placed before him. Anthimos asked, “Do you think that these tools of execution will frighten me?… You cannot frighten one who wishes to die for Christ! Execution is frightening only for the cowardly, for whom the present life is most precious.” The emperor had Anthimos beaten with rods, made to walk in red-hot bronze sandals and finally fixed to a wheel that broke his limbs, while the executioners burnt his body with flaming torches.

Steadfast in his faith, St Anthimos prophesied to the emperor the imminent fall of his pagan empire and that Christianity would triumph. St Anthimos finally received his crown beneath the sword.

☦️ “For I was hungry, and you gave Me food.” Matthew 25:35
Serving these children is more than giving food,it is an opportunity to share Christ’s love through compassion, kindness and action. May God bless every hand that gives and every heart that cares. https://t.co/yQ0pUhZM11
