Venerable Sofronie, a simple monk, became a beacon of faith amidst 18th-century Habsburg oppression in Transylvania. When forced to convert to Catholicism, he refused, igniting a powerful Orthodox resistance. Gathering thousands, he fearlessly defended his ancestral faith, facing imprisonment and exile. His unwavering spirit preserved Orthodoxy for generations.

Holy #Sofronie, pray to #God for us!
