During World War II, Metropolitan Elijah Iorest of Ardeal stood as a beacon of hope. He fearlessly protected Jewish people from persecution, hiding them in monasteries and providing false papers. When confronted by authorities, he staunchly defended his actions, declaring that he was following the Christian duty of love and compassion. His unwavering courage saved countless lives, embodying the true spirit of faith in action.

Let us pray that the example of Metropolitan Elijah inspires us to defend the defenseless and act with unwavering love.
