Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, a shepherd who retreated to the mountains, found solace in a cave and became a monk. His hands, skilled in crafting wooden crosses, turned to transcribing holy texts, illuminating them with vibrant colors. He established a hermitage at the Iezeru Monastery, leaving behind a legacy of spiritual wisdom and artistic devotion.

Lord, through the prayers of Saint Anthony, grant us strength to find beauty in solitude and dedication in service.
