The former hegumen has imposed on itself unprecedented up to that time in Russia obedience - " standing on waters ". 30 years Monk Antony prayed, standing on a granite stone in the middle of the lake forgotten in dense forests. Near to lake the monastery which after death of Antony has named his name, has grown. July 7, on day of St Antony memory on Dymskoe lake there come hundreds of people. Pilgrims trust, that three times having floated around of a cross, each time loudly naming a name of the loved person, they will provide him protection of St. Antony (c) 2005 Sergey Maximishin / Agentur Focus
