In the 4th century, during a time of Christian persecution by the Goths, Sava remained steadfast in his faith. Ordered to eat pagan sacrificial meat as a sign of allegiance to the Gothic king, he refused, declaring his devotion to Christ. Dragged before the king, Sava again professed his unwavering belief. He was then drowned in the river Buzău, thus earning the crown of martyrdom. Let us pray to Saint Sava, that his courage may inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs. #Martyr #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Prayer
