Priest Martyr Ilarion Felea, a beacon of faith during Romania's dark communist years, stood firm against the regime's pressures to renounce his beliefs. He was imprisoned and tortured, yet never wavered. In his final sermon, knowing the risks, he spoke passionately about the importance of remaining true to Christ, even unto death. His courage inspired many to secretly keep their faith alive.
