Born in Moldavia, he journeyed to Mount Athos, embracing monasticism. Renowned for his humility and rigorous asceticism, he restored the ruined skete of Valaam. He lived as a hermit, dedicating himself to prayer and fasting. Many sought his spiritual guidance, drawn by his wisdom and gentle nature. He reposed peacefully, a beacon of piety for all monks.

Lord, through the prayers of #VenerableAntipa, have mercy on us!
