During a period of persecution, Metropolitan Elijah Iorest was imprisoned for his Orthodox faith. Faced with torture and threats of death, he remained steadfast. He was offered freedom and high honors if he would convert to Catholicism. Yet, Elijah refused, choosing to endure suffering rather than compromise his beliefs. His unwavering faith inspired many. Holy Confessor Elijah, pray to God for us! #OrthodoxSaints #RomanianOrthodox #Confessor #Faithful #Prayer
