Venerable #Sophian of Antim, a beacon of monastic resilience during Romania's tumultuous 20th century. His wisdom guided countless souls through communist oppression. Once, a secret police officer, tasked to monitor him, was so moved by Sophian's profound humility and unwavering faith that he secretly brought food and supplies to the monastery.

O Holy #FatherSophian, intercede for us, that we may stand firm in faith amidst trials. #Prayer #OrthodoxSaints #RomanianOrthodox
