She was a humble image, an image of God, caring for the immortal soul. Her labour in the monastery became a crown of virtue, as she attended to the lowliest tasks in the monastery\u2019s work. She repented constantly, remained ever in prayer, and cared deeply for the spiritual life,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h2>Saint Antonina of Tismana<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-560346\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-10-1-593x890.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"890\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Saint Antonina of Tismana was born on 7 March 1923 in Runcu, V\u00e2lcea County, to Ispas and Maria Diaconu, receiving at Baptism the name Ilinca. She had two brothers and one sister.<\/p>\n<p>In 1950, she entered the sisterhood of Tismana Monastery. Throughout her life, she fulfilled her obedience in the monastery household, her cell being next to the pigsty outside the monastery walls. For this reason, she was often unable to attend the night services, finding the monastery gates already locked.<\/p>\n<p>She lived a deeply spiritual life marked by unceasing prayer, fasting and vigil, concealing her virtues beneath outward simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>She reposed in the Lord on <a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/first-orthodox-saints-lived-21st-century-romanian\/\"
