In 1768, Martyr Oprea of Săliştea stood firm against imperial decrees demanding the abandonment of Orthodox faith for Uniatism. Villagers faced severe oppression, yet Oprea, fueled by unwavering faith, refused to convert. He was arrested, tortured, and ultimately martyred for his steadfast devotion to Orthodoxy. His sacrifice strengthened the resolve of his community, inspiring them to preserve their ancestral faith despite immense pressure.

Lord, grant us the strength of #MartyrOprea to defend our #OrthodoxChristian faith. May his prayers guide us to steadfastness. #Saints #Tradition #Faith
