Ἡ Ἁγία Ἀναστασία ἔζησε στὴν Κωνσταντινούπολη κατὰ τοὺς χρόνους τοῦ αὐτοκράτορα Ἰουστινιανοῦ τοῦ Μεγάλου (527 – 565 μ.Χ.) καὶ καταγόταν ἀπὸ πλούσιους καὶ εὐγενεῖς γονεῖς. Ἦταν πρώτη Πατρικία τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ φοβούμενη τὸν Θεό. Οἱ ἀρετές της κίνησαν σὲ φθόνο τὴν βασίλισσα καὶ ἔτσι ἡ Ἁγία ἀναγκάστηκε νὰ παραλάβει μέρος τῆς περιουσίας της καὶ νὰ καταφύγει στὴν Ἀλεξάνδρεια, ὅπου ἔκτισε στὴν θέση ποὺ καλεῖται Πέμπτον μονή, ἡ ὁποία ὀνομάστηκε καὶ τῆς Πατρικίας καὶ ζοῦσε ἀσκητικά. Ὅταν πληροφορήθηκε ὅτι ὁ αὐτοκράτορας Ἰουστινιανὸς τὴν ἀναζητεῖ, ἐγκατέλειψε τὴν μονὴ καὶ προσῆλθε στὴν σκήτη τοῦ ἀββᾶ Δανιήλ, στὸν ὁποῖο ἐμπιστεύθηκε τὰ κατ’ αὐτήν. Ὁ ἀββᾶς τὴν ἔνδυσε μὲ ἀνδρικὰ ἐνδύματα καὶ τὴν μετονόμασε σὲ Ἀναστάσιο. Ὅρισε δὲ καὶ ἕναν ἀπὸ τοὺς ὑποτακτικοὺς τῆς σκήτης, γιὰ νὰ προσκομίζει σὲ αὐτὴν τὰ ἀπαραίτητα, ἔτσι ὥστε νὰ μὴν ἐξέρχεται ἀπὸ τὸ σπήλαιο μέσα στὸ ὁποῖο ἀσκήτευε.
