Venerable Anthony, born in Bucharest, abandoned worldly life for the monastic path at Iezeru. He excelled in fasting and prayer, receiving the gift of tears. Known for humility, he initially hid from priesthood, but obedience prevailed. He rebuilt the Iezeru Monastery, established during Vlad the Impaler's reign, which had fallen into disrepair. He reposed peacefully, leaving a legacy of spiritual renewal.
