Stephen the Great, Prince of Moldavia, faced the Ottoman Empire's overwhelming force at the Battle of Vaslui in 1475. Despite being outnumbered, Stephen's strategic brilliance and his troops' fierce faith led to a crushing victory against the Sultan's army. He attributed his triumph to God, building churches and monasteries in gratitude. His reign was marked by defending his land and #Faith against invaders and preserving his people's #OrthodoxChristian heritage.

Let us pray to St. Stephen, that he intercede for us, to remain steadfast in our beliefs and to defend those in need.
