During World War I, when Romanian soldiers were retreating and morale was at its lowest, Metropolitan Elijah Iorest, known for his deep faith and powerful sermons, stood on a hill overlooking the battlefield. He raised his hands to the sky, praying fervently for divine intervention. It is said that a sudden and miraculous fog descended, concealing the Romanian army from the enemy, allowing them to regroup and avoid complete defeat. This event bolstered the soldiers' spirits, renewed their determination, and was attributed to the Metropolitan's unwavering faith and intercession. May his prayers continue to protect and guide us.

Let us pray for his continued work in God’s Kingdom.
