Venerable #Sophian of Antim, a spiritual guide, endured imprisonment and torture for his faith during Romania's communist regime. Despite facing persecution, he offered solace and guidance to many seeking refuge in the Antim Monastery. Known for his gentle spirit and unwavering faith, he continued to serve as a beacon of hope and resistance against oppression until his repose in 1998. O, venerable Sophian, intercede for us, that we may be granted strength to withstand trials and remain steadfast in our devotion.
