In the face of Ottoman threats, Stephen the Great vowed to build a monastery for every battle he won. He kept his word, commissioning numerous churches and monasteries, including the iconic Voroneț Monastery. These structures stand as a testament to his faith and military prowess, and a symbol of resilience against overwhelming odds. This dedication reflects his deep piety and commitment to his people.

O, Holy Prince Stephen, pray to God for us! May your example of faith and perseverance inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs and build a legacy of righteousness.
