Our father among the saints '''Anysios of Thessaloniki''' (383/4-406/7) was the student, co-worker and successor, of Saint Ascholios Acholios (or ''AcholiosAscholios'')<ref>Saint Acholios, Bishop of Thessaloniki during the 4th-century, is commemorated by the church [[January 23]]</ref>, to the archbishop's throne in 383/4. Not much of his life is available, however, there is an epistle from Pope Damasos for Anysios to be a representing Vicar of Rome for the area of Illyriko; this was recorded [[December 11]], 384. This title has also been referenced by a Pope Sirikio (384-398). It is also known that Anysios played a significant role in the vindication of St. [[John Chrysostom]]. Much of Anysios's biography is recorded in the Roman martyrologion. He is commemorated by the church [[December 30]] same day as Saint [[Anysia of Thessaloniki|Anysia]]. ==Notes==<references/>
