In the second half of the 1800s it is known that there were two country churches in the town of Telti, located a short distance from each other and dedicated to Saints Victoria and Anatolia.
It is unknown when and how the cult was introduced, but it is assumed during the Byzantine period.
Today no trace remains of the church of St. Anatolia.
It would date back to the second half of the 18th century, known a restoration started in 1936 and finished in 1939, the solemn blessing mass was celebrated on March 26 of the same year.
Letters from the Curia indicate that during World War II the church was banned from worship because it was occupied by the military; only after it was cleaned up and restored to a dignified state was it reconciled by the pastor and reopened for worship.
In the 1980s the building showed signs of deterioration, and while funds were sought to provide for its rehabilitation, in the winter of 1984, a heavy snowfall caused the collapse of the perimeter walls, consisting of granite cantons joined together with mud mortar.
For this fact there was much melancholy in the village over the loss of the little church that had cost our ancestors so much effort; the cult of the saint, venerated together with St. Victoria on the first weekend in May, remains.
