Confessor Sava Brancovici, Metropolitan of Ardeal, stood firm against the Calvinist Prince Apafi in the 17th century, defending Orthodox faith in Transylvania. When pressured to convert and threatened with imprisonment, he refused, choosing hardship over compromising his beliefs. He was deposed and held captive for three years, yet his resolve never wavered. His martyrdom strengthened the Orthodox community in the region, preserving their spiritual heritage.

Lord, may his example inspire us to defend our faith fearlessly. #OrthodoxChristian #Confessor #Faith #Martyr #Transylvania
