Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, born into a wealthy family, abandoned his inheritance to seek God in the wilderness. He became a monk at Iezeru Monastery, known for his strict asceticism and deep prayer. During a time of persecution, he fearlessly defended the #Orthodox #Faith, enduring imprisonment and torture. His unwavering devotion inspired many to remain steadfast. O, Venerable Anthony, pray to God for us and inspire us to defend our faith!
