Venerable Anthony of Iezeru, born in the early 17th century, abandoned wealth for monastic life. He settled in a cave near the Iezeru River, Romania, dedicating himself to prayer and asceticism. Skilled in calligraphy and theology, he defended #Orthodox #Faith. He rebuilt the dilapidated Iezeru Monastery, becoming its abbot. Noted for healing and prophecy, he guided many to Christ. Let us pray to Venerable Anthony, that through his intercessions, God grants us strength in trials. #Saints #Prayer #Monasticism #Romania #Christian

Around 830 AD, Gregory faced intense persecution for defending icon veneration. He was imprisoned and tortured for upholding the true faith against iconoclasts. Through unwavering faith and courage, Gregory endured suffering, eventually contributing to the restoration of icons in the Church. Lord, may Gregory's steadfastness inspire us. Help us defend truth. #OrthodoxChristian #Saints #Faith #Prayer #Church
