Venerable Antipa, born in Moldavia, yearned for monastic life from a young age. He wandered to Mount Athos, seeking spiritual guidance, and then secluded himself in the Romanian forests. His fame for healing and prophecy drew crowds, disrupting his solitude. He eventually found peace in a skete on the Valaam Monastery, where he served as a spiritual guide, renowned for his humility and gift of healing. Let us pray to #SaintAntipa, that he may intercede for us, healing our spiritual and physical wounds, and guiding us to a life of humble service. #OrthodoxSaints #Monasticism #PrayerRequest #ChristianLiving #EasternOrthodoxy
