In diodes, anode means positive feedback forward bias. So connect to the positive supply.

The anode is connected to positive supply because it enhances the combination of holes and electrons to emit light photons.

Anode and Cathodes are electrodes (simple conductor which allows a flow of charge carries).
Positive and Negatives are charges.
So in a forward biase, positive charge of supply (battery) connected to the anode of device and negative charge of supply connected to the cathode of the device.
Positive and Negatives are charges.
So in a forward biase, positive charge of supply (battery) connected to the anode of device and negative charge of supply connected to the cathode of the device.

Anode means +ve and cathode means -ve.
The current will flow from positive to the negative.
If the positive is attached to cathode the reverse current or leakage current will flow.
The current will flow from positive to the negative.
If the positive is attached to cathode the reverse current or leakage current will flow.

Diode is a two terminal device i.e. Anode (First terminal) and Cathode (Second terminal). In electronics, for the conduction to begin in the circuit/device, there should be some supply of current/voltage to be given. Henceforth, Anode is Positive Charge and Cathode is Negative Charge.
