About this item

by Anthony the Monk (Author), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

In this work about the life of Saint Simeon, his disciple Anthony notes how he is chosen by God from birth and yearns to understand how to serve Him. After leaving his father's sheep to enter a church, he learns about the virtues of fearing God from an elder. Following this guidance, he joins a monastery, where he faces tribulations, including extreme fasting and self-imposed hardships. His dedication to serving God leads to physical suffering, which ultimately results in his expulsion from the monastery due to his extreme ascetic practices. The story highlights themes of devotion, sacrifice, and the challenges of monastic life
