Leontie, Bishop of Rădăuţi, during a period of intense religious persecution, stood firm in his faith. When authorities demanded the church surrender its sacred relics, he refused, concealing them instead within the very walls of the cathedral. He then led his flock in constant prayer and defiance, inspiring them with his unwavering courage and devotion. Despite threats and intimidation, he never yielded, preserving the spiritual treasures of his community.

Let us pray that Bishop Leontie's steadfastness inspires us to defend our faith with equal resolve.
