During the harsh times of Ottoman rule, Metropolitan Sava bravely defended the Orthodox faith in Transylvania. When Emperor Leopold I demanded that Orthodox priests convert to Catholicism, Sava refused, leading to his imprisonment and torture. Despite enduring immense suffering, he remained steadfast, protecting his flock and upholding the Orthodox traditions. His unwavering faith and courage in the face of persecution earned him the title "Confessor." May this holy confessor, Sava, intercede before our Lord for us!
