Venerable Antipa of Calapodești, born in Romania, felt a deep call to monastic life early on. He wandered, seeking spiritual guidance, eventually finding it on Mount Athos. There, he excelled in asceticism, prayer, and humility, becoming a beacon of light for other monks. Despite his desire for solitude, his wisdom and holiness drew many to him for counsel. He healed the sick and comforted the afflicted, all while maintaining a profound connection with God.

O Venerable Antipa, intercede for us, that we may emulate your devotion and love for #God.
