Anysia of Salonika was a 4th-century Christian virgin and martyr from Thessaloniki. Born to wealthy and devout parents, she inherited their fortune after their deaths and used the money to support the poor. She dedicated herself to a disciplined life of prayer, fasting, and vigils. During the Diocletianic Persecution, she was killed by a soldier while attempting to reach her church. Her death occurred around 304 during the reign of Emperor Maximian.
