Saint Priest Martyr Alexandru of Basarabia, a beacon of faith during tumultuous times, was arrested in 1919 by the Bolsheviks for his staunch defense of the Orthodox Church and Romanian identity in Bessarabia. Accused of counter-revolutionary activities, he refused to renounce his beliefs or betray his people. He was brutally tortured and ultimately martyred for his unwavering commitment to Christ and his nation. His sacrifice stands as a testament to the power of faith in the face of oppression.

Let us pray to Saint Alexandru to intercede for us, that we may have the strength to uphold our faith in times of adversity and to always stand for truth and justice. #SaintAlexandru #OrthodoxMartyr #RomanianOrthodox #FaithfulWitness #PrayForUs
