Stephen the Great, Prince of Moldavia, faced overwhelming odds against the Ottoman Empire. Before the Battle of Vaslui in 1475, he rallied his troops, promising to fight to the death for their land and faith. With a much smaller army, Stephen crushed the Ottomans in a victory so decisive it halted their expansion for decades. He attributed the triumph to God's grace and built monasteries as acts of thanksgiving, fortifying his realm not only with walls but with unwavering faith.

Lord, grant us the strength of #StephenTheGreat to defend our beliefs.
