During the communist regime, Archbishop Ghelasie of Râmeţ Monastery fearlessly defended the Orthodox faith against persecution. He ordained priests secretly, ensuring the Church's survival in Transylvania. When authorities attempted to close the monastery, he led the monks in a powerful act of resistance: a continuous, public prayer vigil. Despite facing threats and surveillance, he refused to compromise his beliefs. His unwavering faith inspired countless Romanians, solidifying his legacy as a shepherd who protected his flock. Saint Ghelasie, pray to God for us, and continue to intercede for the faithful.
