The family of Charalambos Sarantidis and Despoina Nikolaidou lived in a small town called Agios Konstantinos in the province of Kaisareia, which was a local financial and commercial hub. On March 15, 1914, the couple had their first baby. Right after birth, the baby boy developed serious health issues and the doctors thought he would not survive. The parents rushed to baptise him, which is why Antonis Sarantidis’ ‘certificate of birth and baptism’ was issued only five days after his birth, dated March 20, 1914.
