Venerable Sophian of Antim, a beacon of faith amidst the shadows of communist Romania, endured years of imprisonment and torture for his unwavering commitment to Christ. His spirit remained unbroken, and he continued to serve as a spiritual father to fellow inmates, offering comfort and guidance in the face of unimaginable suffering. His cell became a sanctuary, filled not with despair, but with hymns and prayers, offering glimpses of Heaven.

Pray to God for us, Holy Father Sophian! May your intercessions continue to illuminate the path for those struggling with darkness.
