=== Demons in the cave === Being an ascetic, Anthony went out to live in the tombs away from the village. There were so many demons in the cave though, that Anthony's servant had to carry him out because they had beaten him to death. When the hermits were gathered to Anthony's corpse to mourn his death, Anthony was revived. He demanded that his servants take him back to that cave where the demons had beaten him. When he got there he called out to the demons, and they came back as wild beasts to rip him to shreds. Suddenly a bright light flashed, and the demons ran away. Anthony knew that the light must have come from God, and he asked God where he was before when the demons attacked him. God replied, "I was here but I would see and abide to see thy battle, and because thou hast mainly fought and well maintained thy battle, I shall make thy name to be spread through all the world."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Golden Legend: The Life of Anthony of Egypt |url=http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/golden153.htm |access-date=4 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123065522/http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/golden153.htm |archive-date=23 January 2013 }}</ref>
