In the tumultuous 17th century, Peter Mogila, Metropolitan of Kiev, faced a Church weakened by internal strife and external pressures. He championed education, founding the Mogila Academy in Kiev, a beacon of Orthodox learning amidst Catholic influence. His "Orthodox Confession," a systematic exposition of Orthodox doctrine, defended the faith against Protestant and Catholic polemics. He restored neglected churches and monasteries, revitalizing spiritual life.

O Holy Peter Mogila, intercede that we may defend the #Orthodox faith with wisdom and courage! #Saints #Prayer #Education #Church #Tradition
