Stephen the Great, Prince of Moldavia, faced the Ottoman Empire's vast army at the Battle of Vaslui in 1475. Despite being outnumbered, Stephen's brilliant strategy and the Moldavian army's fierce resistance led to a decisive victory against the Sultan's forces. He attributed the victory to God's grace, building the Putna Monastery in thanksgiving.

Lord, grant us the strength and wisdom of Stephen to defend our faith today.
