Venerable Sofronie, a simple monk from Cioara, became a beacon of faith in Transylvania when the Habsburgs sought to sway Orthodox Christians to Catholicism. Faced with threats, he rallied thousands to defend their ancestral beliefs, proclaiming, "This faith our fathers handed down to us, this one we shall keep!" Despite imprisonment and exile, his spirit remained unbroken, his words echoing through generations, fortifying the Orthodox identity of Romanians.

Let us pray to #Sofronie that we never compromise our faith!
