Bishop Theotim of Tomis, a Scythian by birth, shone brightly during the reign of Emperor Valens. Renowned for his profound wisdom and fervent dedication, he converted many barbarians to Christianity through his teachings and miracles. A story tells of how he transformed a precious stone offered as a bribe into dust, demonstrating his disdain for worldly riches and his unwavering commitment to spiritual values. Let us pray that, inspired by his example, we may remain steadfast in our faith and unyielding in the face of temptation.
