Leontie, Bishop of Rădăuți, a beacon of faith in 14th-century Moldavia, bravely stood against the Tatar invasions, protecting his flock. When the Tatars demanded tribute, he offered himself in exchange for his people's freedom. He was taken captive, enduring harsh treatment and imprisonment for the #ChristianFaith. Though tortured, he remained steadfast, continuing to offer #prayers for his people. Ultimately, he was released and returned to his diocese, where he continued shepherding his flock until his repose. Saint Leontie, pray to God for us! #OrthodoxChristian #HolyBishop #MoldavianSaints #FaithfulServant #Prayer
