During the communist regime in Romania, Bishop Bretanion of Tomis was known for his unwavering faith and courage. He openly criticized the government's interference in church affairs, despite facing severe repercussions. Once, when authorities ordered the removal of icons from a church, Bretanion stood defiantly at the entrance, preventing anyone from entering until the order was rescinded. His bravery inspired many to hold onto their faith in a time of oppression.

Lord, grant Bretanion's continued guidance and strength to the Romanian Orthodox Church.
