St Anthony of Krasny Kholm
Saint Anthony of Krasny Kholm was initially a
wilderness-dweller in the vicinity of White Lake. The hieromonk arrived
in the region of Tver and settled near “Pretty Hillock” [“Krasny
kholm”], at the bank of the River Mologa, building a chapel and cell
there. After the discovery of an icon of St Nicholas, a stone church was
built and a monastery founded, headed by the saint, who taught the
brethren both by word and by example throughout his life. St Anthony
died in 1481.
