Saint Anastasia was not and has not been dropped from the canon of the Holy Mass. In the Latin Rite Church, there are 2 forms of the mass. The Ordinary, and the Extra-ordinary. The former, is a mass that was developed after Vatican Council II which was called in the 1960s. The latter is known as the Latin Mass or the Usus Antiquior. It is still in use today, and especially by priests who follow the pre-Vatican II calendar.
In the Ordinary form of the mass, there are a good number of Eucharistic prayers. The first Eucharistic prayer is known as the canon of the mass, and is the longest form, most similar to the Usus Antiquior canon. It contains the names of all the virgins and martyrs.
The other Eucharistic prayers, II to IV, do not have the list of saints and marytrs as the canon does. They are also shorter.
In the Extra-ordinary form of the mass, everytime the mass is said, because the prayers of the mass are codified, there is no option to have any other canon or Eucharistic prayer.
Thus, one always hears the canon --and subsequently, the name of Anastasia, among others.

Saint Anastasia was a Roman matron, born in the late third century, and martyred in the early fourth century. We don't have many details about her, but a pretty safe bet would be that she was born in Rome. This from the Saints and Angels website: Taken from the Acts of St. Anastasia, who is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass, and commemorated by the Church [old calendar] on December 25, St. Anastasia was a spiritual child of St. Chrysogonus (also martyred). The time frame is during the Diocletian persecution in the fourth century perhaps the year 304 A.D. St. Anastasia was a Roman lady of noble descent. Her father was an opulent and noble pagan; but her mother, who was a Christian, caused her to be baptized in her infancy, and secretly reared her in sentiments of Christian piety, in which she made great progress. St. Anastasia had been married to a noble Roman, named Publius, who was a pagan; he loved his wife much, but having discovered her acts of piety, and that she was a Christian, from a loving husband he became a cruel tyrant, confined her to the house, and treated her like a slave. The saint, rejoiced that she could suffer for the love of Jesus Christ.
Saint Anastasia of Sirmium was martyred in the persecutions of Diocletian about the year 304.
The address of the Anastasia Island Branch is: 124 Sea Grove Main St., St. Augustine Beach, 32080 6308
She did not have a full name because she was a Roman woman. Only men in Ancient Rome had three names. The Catholic Church recognizes St. Anastasia as 'the Widow' to help distinguish her from the other Anastasia's that have become Saints.
by doing things that she believed in
I do not know. there is nobody named Gloria, Carol ( male or female), Noel, or other Christmas-oriented handle. It was falsely argued that Anastasia ( of Russia) WA sborn on Christmas day. this was mistaken. St. Anastasia- ( which means I shall Rise again and has Resurrectionist angles) is celebrated on the second Mass of Christmas ( mass here meaning religious service, not holiday)-but Anastasia rolled off the lines on June l8, l90l in St. Petersburg, in the Winter Palace. True, her Father was named Nicholas ( possible tie-in with Santa Claus) but Anastasia was not a , er, Yule Child. not to log.

No, not at all. Saint Anastasia is a Roman Catholic Saint and a Martyr who died at Sirmium, which is located in modern day Serbia. In the Eastern Orthodox Church she is recognised as the Great Martyr Anastasia, the Deliverer from Potions. She is one of only seven women, not including the Virgin Mary, who are commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. Her feast day is December 25th. Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov, on the other hand, was the fourth and youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. She was born on June 18th 1901 at Peterhof Palace and was murdered along with the rest of her family in the basement of Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg in the early hours of July 17, 1918. In the year 2000, Anastasia Romanov and her family were canonized as passion bearers by the Russian Orthdox Church. However, they were later canonized as saints, so technically, Anastasia IS a Saint, but in the Russian Orthodox Church.
She was a nun who helped the poor; she had no specific occupation.
