The Passion of St. Anthony

And this holy martyr Antony, who was of the city of Alexandria, a believer in Christ, and a godfearing man, was taken, and brought before the governor, and when he was examined, he confessed that he was a Christian, and testified that Christ was God.

For this reason, when he was nailed to a cross with an iron chain, he did not disown Christ. He endured torture as if he were about to be burned in the fire.

<unk> My beloved brethren! it is not so much the flesh that serves, but the soul more. Remember that it is given to you by God and is akin to the rational Divine powers [under the Divine powers here must be understood angels.] and take care to present it to the Lord clean. After the death of the holy martyr [time of death of the holy martyr Antony is not known.] his body was found intact.
