Venerable Antipa of Calapodeşti, born in Moldavia, felt a strong calling to monastic life early on. He traveled extensively, seeking spiritual guidance in various monasteries, including Mount Athos. Known for his humility and devotion to prayer, he eventually settled in a secluded hermitage, where he lived a life of asceticism. Despite his desire for solitude, people sought him out for his wisdom and healing abilities. He reposed peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of piety and a reminder of the power of unwavering faith.

Holy #Antipa, pray to #God for us! May your example inspire us to seek deeper #spirituality.
