Venerable Confessor Sofronie of Cioara, a simple monk, became a beacon of faith in 18th-century Transylvania when the Habsburg Empire sought to forcibly unite Orthodox Christians with Rome. He fervently defended Orthodoxy, traveling, preaching, and facing imprisonment for his unwavering stance. His actions ignited a spiritual awakening, strengthening the resolve of the faithful. Let us pray that through his intercessions, we may find the same courage to defend the true faith in our times. #OrthodoxSaints #ConfessorOfFaith #SpiritualCourage #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer
