ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY
All Saints celebrated on the 26th of February
ANUB, ABBOT
The historian Nicephorus (Lib. IX. c. 14) reports that Abbot Anub, whom he also calls Anuph, lived in the 4th century. After a heartfelt and zealous confession of his Christian faith during one of the persecutions of the Roman government, he began an otherworldly existence. Never again did he say even the slightest untrue word, he ceased to desire anything earthly etc. and lived entirely for our Triune God. Under the guidance and instruction of an angel he attained to the highest perfection in the practice of godliness.
