Venerable Martyr Gherasim of Tismana, a monk of profound faith, stood firm against oppression. When the Austrian army invaded and demanded the monastery's treasures, he refused to betray his vows. They tortured him, demanding he reveal the hidden wealth. But Gherasim endured, protecting the sacred artifacts until his death on October 3, 1769.
