Pope Anianus of Alexandria
Pope Anianus, 2nd Pope of Alexandria & Patriarch of the See of St. Mark. He was ordained as the successor of Saint Mark the Evangelist, and was also the first convert Mark won to Christianity in the region.〔Atiya, Aziz S.. ''The Coptic Encyclopedia''. New York: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1991. ISBN 0-02-897025-X.〕
==Connection with Saint Mark==
As Mark was entering Rakotis, a suburb of Alexandria, after his trip from Cyrene to the Pentapolis, the strap of his sandal fell off. He found a cobbler, Anianus, to repair it. While he was working on the sandal, the awl slipped in Anianus' hand, piercing it. Anianus cried ''"Heis ho Theos" ("God is one")'' in response to the pain. Mark took the opportunity of Anianus' scream to preach the Gospel of Christianity to him, at the same time reportedly miraculously healing Anianus of his wound.〔
How it was that Anianus was a monotheist in Alexandria is a matter of conjecture. Some have suggested that he was himself a Jew, or perhaps a pagan native who had come under the influence of the wealthy Jewish community, and learned his monotheistic beliefs there.〔 Others have held that Anianus was a noble, although this does seem to be contrary to the documents available.〔
In any event, Mark was invited to Anianus' house, where he taught Anianus' family the Gospel and baptized them all. A large number of natives of the area were quickly converted by Mark and his followers, causing those citizens who did not convert to feel obliged to defend their local gods against the new faith.〔
