In the 17th century, amidst religious and political turmoil in Transylvania, Metropolitan Sava Brancovici stood firm in his Orthodox faith, refusing to convert to Calvinism despite immense pressure from Prince Apafi. His steadfastness led to imprisonment and exile. Even in confinement, Sava continued to minister to his flock through letters and emissaries, offering spiritual guidance and unwavering support. He endured hardship with patience and humility, becoming a symbol of resistance against religious oppression. His courage inspired Orthodox Christians to persevere in their beliefs.

Let us beseech Metropolitan Sava, to intercede for us, that we may remain steadfast in our faith, and that God may grant us strength to overcome adversity and remain true to the Orthodox path.
