On this day, we remember #Martyr Oprea of Săliştea, a Romanian peasant who refused to convert to Calvinism despite torture by Hungarian nobles in the 18th century. He stood firm in his #Orthodox #Faith, enduring unimaginable pain rather than renounce Christ. He was promised nobility and wealth, but he scorned it all, declaring his unwavering devotion to Orthodoxy. Oprea was eventually murdered for his beliefs, becoming a beacon of courage and devotion.

Holy Martyr Oprea, pray to God for us! #Saints #Romania #Christian
