In 1714, Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu of Wallachia and his four sons, Constantin, Stephen, Radu, and Matthew, were arrested by the Ottomans. Offered life in exchange for converting to Islam, they refused. On August 15, after enduring imprisonment and torture, they were beheaded in Constantinople. Constantin, the father, encouraged his sons to remain steadfast in their Christian #Faith until their last breath. Their martyrdom became a symbol of resistance against religious conversion and a testament to unwavering devotion to #JesusChrist.

Let us pray to the Holy Martyrs Brâncoveni, asking them to intercede for our strength in faith and courage in the face of adversity. May their sacrifice inspire us to live according to God's will. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Martyrdom
