In 1959, during a harsh interrogation, Priest Ilarion Felea was pressured to renounce his faith and denounce his fellow priests. He refused, stating, "I am a priest, and I must remain a priest." He was tortured relentlessly, yet he never wavered. He died in prison, a martyr for his unwavering belief in Christ.

Let us pray for #Martyr Ilarion’s intercession, that we may have the strength to stand firm in our #Faith, even in the face of adversity. May his sacrifice inspire us to live lives of unwavering devotion to #God. #OrthodoxChristian #Holiness #Prayer
