Priest Martyr Ilarion Felea stood firm against communist pressure, refusing to denounce his faith or abandon his flock. He was arrested in 1959, enduring torture and imprisonment for his unwavering commitment to #Christ. Even in the face of death, Fr. Ilarion continued to celebrate the Divine Liturgy in secret, offering spiritual nourishment to his fellow inmates. He died in 1961, a martyr for the #Orthodox faith, his life a testament to courage and devotion.

Holy Priest Ilarion, intercede for us that we may have the strength to remain steadfast in our faith. #Saints #Prayer #Romania
