Venerable Confessor Sofronie of Cioara, a simple monk, stood firm against the forced union with Rome in 1761. He gathered thousands of Orthodox Christians in Alba Iulia, demanding the restoration of their faith. His courage led to imprisonment and exile, yet his spirit remained unbroken. He tirelessly preached and strengthened the faith of Romanians.

Let us beseech #Sofronie to intercede for us, that we may remain steadfast in our #Orthodox #Faith and bear witness to #Christ's truth in these challenging times. #Saints
