Venerable Antipa, born in Moldavia, felt a deep spiritual calling early in life. After years of monastic life on Mount Athos, he sought even greater solitude and settled in a Romanian hermitage near Calapodești. Known for his ascetic life, fervent prayer, and compassionate heart, he attracted many seeking spiritual guidance. Despite his desire for solitude, he never turned away those in need, offering comfort and healing. His example of unwavering faith continues to inspire.

Lord, through the prayers of #SaintAntipa, may we find the strength to embrace solitude and serve others with love.
