Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, born into a wealthy family, renounced his inheritance to embrace monasticism. He secluded himself in a cave near the Iezeru River, dedicating his life to prayer and fasting. Villagers sought his counsel, drawn to his wisdom and humility. He rebuilt the Iezeru Monastery, which had been destroyed by invaders. Saint Anthony's life was a testament to unwavering faith and devotion.

Lord, by the prayers of Saint Anthony of Iezeru, have mercy on us and save us!
