Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, born a prince, abandoned his royal life for monasticism. He sought solitude in the Iezeru mountains, carving a cell into the rock face. His unwavering commitment drew others, and he reluctantly became their guide, establishing a monastery. He tirelessly copied manuscripts and composed spiritual writings, illuminating souls with divine wisdom.

Lord, through the prayers of Saint Anthony, enlighten our hearts and guide our steps on the path of righteousness.
