Priest Ilarion Felea stood firm against communist pressures to denounce his faith and the Church. Arrested in 1959, he endured brutal interrogation and torture, yet never wavered. He was sentenced to 20 years of hard labor and died in prison in 1961, a martyr for his unwavering devotion to #Christ.
