He is celebrated in many churches on his feast days: 30 January in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church; 17 January in the Roman Catholic Church and the Coptic Catholic Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe biography of Anthony's life by Athanasius of Alexandria helped to spread the concept of monasticism, particularly in Western Europe through Latin translations. He is often erroneously considered the first monk, but as his biography and other sources make clear, there were many ascetics before him. Anthony was, however, the first known ascetic going into the wilderness, a geographical shift that seems to have contributed to his renown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony is appealed to against infectious diseases, particularly skin diseases. \"Saint Anthony's fire\" has described different afflictions including ergotism, erysipelas and shingles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can purchase other wonderful religious works from Bieber Publishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy.","brand":"Bieber Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152583442672,"sku":"2940013550896","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013550896_p0.jpg?v=1763582672","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013550896","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
