ANASTASIO I, PATRIARCA INTRUSO DI COSTANTINOPOLI

Italian original Cite

Also known as: Anastasios I of Constantinople

ANASTASIUS I, Intrusive Patriarch of Constantinople. - When the iconoclast emperor Leo the Isaurian drove St. Germanus from the patriarchal throne because he defended the veneration of images, A., who was a disciple and syncellus of the saint, agreed to occupy it (730). As an intruder and an iconoclast he was excommunicated by the popes Gregory II and Gregory III. In 741 he supported the revolt of Artabasdos, but the following year he was cruelly punished for it: Constantine Copronymus had him scourged and had him paraded through the circus naked and seated backwards on a donkey; afterwards he was restored to his see. The Menaia, on 10 February, commemorate him both because under Artabasdos he favored the veneration of images and because he founded a monastery at Oxia, and also on account of his wretched death (754).
