Bishop Theotim of Tomis, a Scythian by birth, embraced monasticism early, renowned for piety and wisdom. During Emperor Valens' reign, an Arian, Theotim's reputation spread, leading to his consecration as Bishop of Tomis. An envoy arrived, seeking to sway him with gifts to the Arian heresy. Theotim, invited them to dine, serving a humble meal in stark contrast to their expectations. He explained true wealth lies in spiritual riches, not earthly treasures, and firmly rejected their heretical proposal.

Pray for #BishopTheotim to inspire unwavering faith and simplicity in leaders today. #OrthodoxSaints #ChristianVirtue #Prayer #Romania
