Stephen the Great, the Voivode of Moldavia, faced a massive Ottoman army at the Battle of Vaslui in 1475. Before the battle, he fasted and prayed, entrusting his small army to God. Despite being outnumbered, the Moldavians, using clever tactics and the terrain to their advantage, routed the Ottomans, inflicting a devastating defeat. It was considered one of the largest defeats in Ottoman history and a testament to Stephen's faith and leadership. May Saint Stephen, through your prayers, continue to inspire courage and faith in our times, defending the Church and all of God's children.
