Venerable Sofronie, a beacon of faith in 18th-century Transylvania, stood against forced union with Rome. A simple monk, his words ignited a spiritual fire, drawing thousands back to Orthodoxy. Arrested and imprisoned in chains, his resolve remained unbroken. From his cell, he continued to guide his flock, his letters of encouragement transcending prison walls. He reposed in peace, an example of unwavering faith.

Let us pray to #Sofronie, that his courage inspires us to defend the True Faith, and that he intercede for the Orthodox Christians facing persecution today. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Romania #Confessor
