Anastasius II of Antioch
Patriarch of Antioch from 599 to 609
Anastasius II of Antioch , also known as Anastasius the Younger , succeeded Anastasius of Antioch as Greek Patriarch of Antioch , in 599.
Anastasius 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 assassinated during an uprising of Syrian Jews , who were under threat of forced conversion to Christianity.[1] Local Monophysites were also engaged in a revolt at the time.[1] It is possible that they committed the assassination, rather than the Jews.[2]
Anastasius is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn St. Peter's Square .[3]
