Anastasius, Martyr at Sirmium in Pannonia (S.)
Sirmium was once a distinguished city of Lower Pannonia. We conjecture that Anastasius was crowned with martyrdom here on January 6 from the manuscript Martyrology of St. Jerome, in which this is found: "At Sirmium: of Anastasius." Many of that name are celebrated in the Roman Martyrology among the Saints; none who was either killed at Sirmium or especially venerated there.

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.
The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
