Venerable Confessor Sofronie of Cioara stood firm against the imposed union with Rome in 1761, a time of great pressure on Orthodox Christians in Transylvania. He fearlessly traveled from village to village, encouraging people to remain steadfast in their Orthodox faith and resist conversion. Despite threats and persecution, including imprisonment, his unwavering conviction inspired countless souls to persevere. Even in chains, his spirit remained unbroken, a beacon of courage and faith.

Oh, Venerable Sofronie, pray to God for us that we may be as strong in our faith as you were!
