St. Anastasia's Day - history
Anastasia the Patternmaker was a holy Christian great martyr who lived in the 3rd–4th centuries. She grew up in Rome and was raised in a family of nobility. From a young age, Anastasia began to do good deeds, secretly visiting Christians who were in captivity and providing them with the necessary help. Saint Chrysogonus, who taught her, was executed, after which his student went on a journey, continuing to help the righteous. After visiting several countries, Anastasia ended up in Sirmium, where she was captured, tortured and eventually burned at the stake.
In Rome, in honor of the great martyr, the Basilica of St. Anastasia the Pattern Maker was later built, which, after a series of restorations, is still in its place today. Anastasia, like 6 other holy women, was also included in the Roman canon of the Mass.
Death of Anastasia
After the miracle on the ship, the tormentors thought that Anastasia was a witch and decided to end her life. The saint's body was stretched between four pillars, and a fire was lit under them. But even here the Lord showed a miracle: the fire did not burn the body of the martyr. Anastasia prayed to God, and He took her holy soul to Himself. Thus ended her earthly journey. This happened around 304 AD.
The body of the great martyr was taken and buried by a Christian woman named Appolinaria. Then she erected a temple on the site of the burial of the relics.

Christian activity of the saint
At that time, Emperor Diocletian ruled. He hated and persecuted Christians. Many saints were martyred at that time.
Anastasia learned that her mentor was imprisoned. After paying the guards, she entered the prison to visit the saint. She often came to prison to listen to his sermons.
Then, seeing the condition of the imprisoned Christians, Anastasia began to come often, disguised as a beggar and bribing the guards. The saint fed and watered the prisoners and bandaged their wounds. Some of the prisoners recovered from serious illnesses, thanks to the prayers of the saint.
Having learned where Anastasia went every day, Pompilius imprisoned her and severely beat her. She grieved not for her wounds, but for the fact that she could no longer do works of mercy.
She wrote letters to her mentor, and he consoled her in return that this temptation would soon end. And so it happened, soon Anastasia’s husband died, and she became free again.
After her husband drowned on a ship, Anastasia continued her Christian activities. She came to Christians in prison and helped them. She ransomed some of them from prison. If she couldn’t do this, she consoled and helped as best she could. The prisoners felt that they were feeling better, the fear was passing, and their souls were filled with light from her words.
Chrysogonus was soon executed, but he appeared to Anastasia in a vision and warned that the three girls would soon suffer the same fate. The saint strengthened them and supported them as best she could until her death.
The saint began to wander, visiting prisoners everywhere. She visited Greece, Macedonia, Sirmium.
Anastasia became friends with a pious widow named Theodotia. Women supported each other in difficult times. But soon Theodotia was executed along with her sons.
Anastasia's marriage
The girl decided for herself that she would not marry, would remain a virgin, devoting her life to God. But soon her mother left for another world, and the unbelieving father decided his daughter’s fate. He found what he thought was a suitable match for her. Her future groom, Pompilius, was a rich pagan.
Anastasia was unable to avoid marriage with an unloved person. But she managed to preserve her virginity - Anastasia told her husband that she was sick with a contagious disease. Thus, each time she avoided fulfilling her marital duty.
