Venerable #Sophian of #Antim, a beacon of spiritual wisdom, faced relentless persecution under the communist regime in Romania. Despite imprisonment and torture, his faith remained unshaken. Once, during interrogation, when pressured to renounce his beliefs, he instead began to fervently pray, filling the room with an unearthly peace that silenced his tormentors. His unwavering devotion became a source of strength for countless souls. O righteous Sophian, pray to God for us!
