On January 17th we commemorate Saint Anthony. St. Anthony was a Christian monk from Egypt and is revered as a saint. He is also known as Anthony the Great, Anthony of Egypt, and Anthony of the Desert. Most importantly, he is also known as the Father of All Monks. He was the first to go into the wilderness (about ad 270), which contributed to his renown. Accounts note that Anthony endured supernatural temptation during his time in the desert of Egypt.
