Bishop Bretanion of Tomis, in the 4th century, stood firm against the Arian heresy, which denied Christ's full divinity. When Emperor Valens, an Arian supporter, visited Tomis, Bretanion refused to offer him communion, a bold act of defiance. The Emperor, enraged, tried to intimidate the bishop, but Bretanion remained steadfast in his faith. His courage inspired his flock to stay true to the Nicene Creed, affirming Christ's divinity.

Let us pray that Bishop Bretanion's unwavering faith inspires us to defend the truth.
