Dosoftei, a beacon of faith and learning in 17th-century Moldavia, faced immense challenges defending Orthodox beliefs against Polish Catholic influence. As Metropolitan, he tirelessly translated religious texts into Romanian, aiming to fortify his people's spiritual foundation. A prolific writer and scholar, he sought refuge in Poland during times of political turmoil, continuing his work despite exile. His dedication to preserving and promoting Orthodox Christianity left an indelible mark on Romanian culture and spirituality.

Holy #Dosoftei, pray unto #God for us! 🙏
