Dosoftei, a scholar-monk in 17th-century Moldavia, mastered Greek, Latin, and Slavonic. As Metropolitan, he championed Romanian against Slavonic in the church, translating and publishing liturgical texts, including the Psalter in verse—a cultural cornerstone. Facing Polish invasion, he sheltered with King Jan Sobieski, sharing Moldavian treasures and wisdom.
Holy Hierarch Dosoftei, pray that we may champion truth and preserve our heritage, always glorifying God through our actions and words. #HolyHierarch #OrthodoxChristian #MoldavianTreasures #Truth #PreserveHeritage
