Bishop Bretanion of Tomis faced Emperor Valens, an Arian, who demanded he commune with Arians. Bretanion refused, even when threatened with exile. The Emperor, witnessing the people's devotion to Bretanion, backed down. Bretanion's courage defended the Orthodox faith. May we emulate Bretanion's unwavering faith in defending the true teachings.
