The image, taken in the 1930s, captures the monk in his late seventies, a time when many would have long since retired. Yet, Father Anthony's dedication to his gardening pursuits remains as strong as ever. Clad in his monastic habit and hooded cape, Father Anthony's weathered face bears the marks of a life well-lived. His hands, calloused from decades of labor, cradle a watering can as he attends to the vibrant blooms before him. The serene expression on his face speaks volumes about the peace and contentment he finds in this simple, yet deeply meaningful, act of nurturing the earth.
