Venerable Antipa, born in Moldavia, felt a burning monastic call early. He journeyed to Mount Athos, seeking spiritual direction. There, under the guidance of experienced elders, he excelled in prayer, fasting, and obedience. Known for his humility, he retreated to a secluded cell, dedicating himself to ceaseless prayer for the world. His wisdom and saintly life attracted many seeking guidance.

Holy Antipa, intercede with Christ our God for our salvation!
