In 1714, Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, his four sons, and his advisor Ianache were beheaded by the Ottomans for refusing to renounce their Christian faith and convert to Islam. They were offered riches and freedom if they converted, but they chose Christ over earthly treasures. Tradition says that as each of his sons were beheaded, Constantin was asked if he would convert, to save the next son. He refused, and the martyrdom of all six followed. May their sacrifice inspire us to remain steadfast in our faith. Holy Martyrs Brâncoveni, pray to God for us!
