Venerable Dimitrie the New of Basarabi, a humble shepherd, dedicated his life to Christ in 13th-century Wallachia. One day, while tending his flock, a Tartar raiding party captured him. They tried to force him to renounce his faith, but Dimitrie remained steadfast. Enraged, they tortured him mercilessly, yet he never wavered. Finally, they bound him and left him to die. Miraculously, he survived and continued to live a life of prayer and service. His relics, found incorrupt, are venerated for their miraculous healing power.

Venerable Dimitrie, pray for us, that we may be as unwavering in our faith!
