In 1683, as the Ottoman Empire threatened Transylvania, Metropolitan Sava Brancovici refused to renounce his Orthodox faith and submit to the pro-Catholic policies of the Habsburgs. Despite immense pressure, imprisonment, and attempts to force his conversion, Sava stood firm. He was deposed and exiled, enduring hardship for his unwavering commitment to Orthodoxy and his people. Even in exile, his faith remained a beacon. May #SavaBrancovici's courage inspire us. Lord, help us stand firm in our faith.
