On this day, we remember the holy Martyr Oprea of Săliştea. In 1768, during the Austro-Hungarian empire's religious oppression in Transylvania, Oprea stood firm in his #Orthodox #Faith. Called to renounce his Orthodoxy and embrace Catholicism, he refused, declaring his unwavering loyalty to the true Christian faith. For this, he endured brutal torture, yet he never wavered. Finally, he was beheaded for Christ.
Holy Martyr Oprea, pray to God for us and guide us to be steadfast in our beliefs, no matter the cost. Help us remain true to the #Tradition passed down to us.
