Martyr Oprea of Săliştea, a humble shepherd, stood firm in his Orthodox faith when pressured to convert to Calvinism in 18th-century Transylvania. Promised wealth and threatened with death, he refused to deny Christ. "I was born Orthodox, and I will die Orthodox," he declared before being tortured and ultimately martyred for his unwavering belief.

Holy Martyr Oprea, intercede for us before the throne of God, that we may remain steadfast in our #Faith. Pray for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Prayer #Tradition
