Life
A monk by age 12, Antony Kauleas became a priest and the abbot of an unnamed monastery. He came to the attention of
Patriarch Stephen I of Constantinople
in 893.
Patriarch Antony II was a pious man who generously endowed monastic foundations and founded or re-founded the Kaulea monastery with the support of the emperor, who preached at the church's dedication. Buried in the church of his monastery, Antony was held responsible for various miracles. He was canonized as a saint by both the Orthodox and Catholic Churches and he is commemorated on February 12.
