Bl. Anthony Neyrot

Feast Day: April 10

Blessed Anthony was born at Rivoli in Piedmont, Italy in 1425 and entered the Order at San Marco in Florence where he lived under the direction of Saint Antoninus.

Desiring to visit Sicily, he set sail for there and was captured enroute by pirates who took him to Tunis. There he apostasized and married.

The news of the death of Saint Antoninus brought him to his senses and, touched by the grace of God, he resumed the religious habit, proclaimed his faith and suffered death by stoning. He died on Holy Thursday in the year 1460.
