Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, born into wealth, abandoned it all to seek God in the wilderness. He found solace in a cave near the Iezeru River, carving a church directly into the rock. There, he lived a life of extreme asceticism, prayer, and fasting, becoming a beacon of light for those seeking spiritual guidance. He copied manuscripts and hymns, leaving a written legacy of faith. Let us pray that through his intercessions, we find the strength to renounce worldly attachments and embrace a life dedicated to God.
