Venerable Anthony of Iezeru Monastery, a beacon of monastic life, faced a severe trial when his monastery was beset by bandits seeking treasure. Rather than succumb to fear, Anthony, known for his unwavering faith, led the monks in fervent prayer. The bandits, encountering an unseen force of divine protection, were overcome with terror and fled, leaving the monastery unharmed. This miraculous deliverance solidified Anthony's reputation for piety and the power of prayer. We pray, O Holy Father Anthony, that you intercede for us, and that God, through your prayers, may protect us from all evil. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #MonasticLife #Faith
