In the ancient lands of Dacia, during a time of persecution, Saint Sava stood firm in his faith. Ordered to eat meat sacrificed to pagan gods, he refused, declaring his unwavering devotion to Christ. His steadfastness angered the pagan king, who ordered Sava to be drowned in the Musæus River. As he was cast into the waters, Sava rejoiced, embracing martyrdom rather than renounce his Lord. His sacrifice became a testament to the strength found in unwavering belief. May we be as brave in our convictions.

Lord, through the prayers of Martyr Sava, strengthen our resolve to always stand for the truth.
