Athanasius the Great

Athanasius of Alexandria a.k.a. “Athanasius the Great” lived from 296 to 373 AD. He took part in the Council of Nicaea, where the Arian Heresy was addressed, and played in important role in it’s refutation. Athanasius also studied under St Anthony the Great, who was the father of Egyptian Monasticism and Christian monasticism in general, and he is credited for writing “The Life of St Anthony the Great.”
