Sts. Athanasius, Nicholas, and Anthony of Vetopedi (X)

The saint was born in the 4th century in the city of Nicaea. From a young age, he showed piety and a desire for spiritual life. After the death of his parents, he distributed all his possessions to the poor and went into the desert, where he devoted himself to prayer and fasting.

Soon, people began to come to him for advice and healing. The saint performed many miracles, healing the sick and casting out demons. His life was full of humility and love for his neighbors.

At the end of his life, he predicted his death and peacefully departed to the Lord, leaving behind many disciples who continued his work. The memory of the saint is honored in the Orthodox Church on May 15.
