In 1918, with Bessarabia uniting with Romania, Father Alexandru Nemțeanu championed Romanian identity. Arrested in 1919 by Bolsheviks for his pro-Romanian stance, he endured torture, including having his beard set aflame, before being brutally murdered near Tighina. His martyrdom underscores his unwavering commitment to faith and national unity.

Let us pray to #Saint Alexandru to intercede for the unity and strength of our nations, that we may stand firm in faith amidst trials. #OrthodoxSaint #Martyr #RomanianOrthodox #HolyIntercessor #SpiritualStrength
