In holy baptism, the elder was named Alexei, in honor of Alexei, the man of God. Not only he himself dreamed of monasticism, but his parents also saw him as a monk, and therefore gave him spiritual education. After graduating from the seminary, Alexey fell ill with tuberculosis, knowing that the disease was incurable, he made a vow to the Lord, if he recovered, he would become a monk. And so it happened.
The young novice’s first mentor was Elder Macarius, who first of all began to teach him the Jesus Prayer. After the death of his spiritual leader, Alexei began to be cared for by Ambrose Optinsky. Alexey was given the name Anatoly only 10 years later when he was tonsured into the mantle. Despite his very poor health, the Monk Anatoly carried out difficult obedience in the kitchen. Then Elder Ambrose blessed the saint to visit the mourners in the monastery hotel. The monk was ordained to the rank of hieromonk only in 1870. At that time he was 46 years old. A year later, he was appointed head of the monastery, and with all his heart he began to take care of the brethren. Later the monk began to minister to Shamordino convent. The sisters of the monastery addressed him as a father. They walked with all the temptations and sorrows.

In 1893, he accepted the schema, but only those closest to him knew about it. This was done in secret. He rested peacefully while reading the funeral. In 2000 he was canonized as a saint.
