In the tumultuous 17th century, Peter Mogila, a man of Moldovan noble descent, rose to become the Metropolitan of Kiev. Amidst intense religious and political pressures, he revitalized the #Orthodox Church in the region. A key moment: his efforts to establish the Collegium Mohileanum in Kiev, later the Kiev Theological Academy, a beacon of learning that integrated Orthodox theology with Western scholarship, preserving Orthodox identity against Catholic and Polish influences.

O Holy Hierarch Peter, pray to God for us, and intercede that we may remain steadfast in the true faith! #Prayer #Tradition #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Education
