On this day, we remember Saint Venerable Martyr Gherasim of Tismana, who defended his faith against Ottoman invaders. When they demanded he convert to Islam, he refused, enduring torture and ultimately giving his life for Christ. His steadfastness inspires us to stand firm in our beliefs, no matter the cost. May his prayers strengthen our resolve.

Lord, through the prayers of Saint Gherasim, fortify our faith and protect us from all harm.
