On this day, we remember Saint Venerable Martyr Gherasim of Tismana, who defended his faith against those who sought to desecrate holy grounds. When invaders demanded the treasures of Tismana Monastery, Gherasim bravely professed the supremacy of spiritual wealth over earthly riches. His refusal to betray his vows led to his martyrdom, his sacrifice a testament to unwavering devotion.

May his prayers guide us to value faith above all, and to stand firm in the face of adversity.
