Venerable Cleopa once faced a dire situation during World War II when soldiers sought to harm him, suspecting him of aiding resistance fighters. Cleopa, filled with unwavering faith, began to fervently pray to the Theotokos. Miraculously, as the soldiers approached, a thick fog enveloped him, concealing him from their sight. The soldiers searched in vain, unable to find him amidst the dense mist. Cleopa, protected by divine intervention, continued his monastic life, teaching and guiding countless souls to Christ. Let us pray to #VenerableCleopa, that through his intercessions, we may find refuge and strength in times of adversity. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Faith #Miracle

Venerable Martyr Gherasim of Tismana, a monk of profound faith, faced Ottoman invaders who sought to plunder his monastery. Refusing to reveal the location of the monastery's treasures, he endured brutal torture. Despite agonizing pain, Gherasim remained steadfast in his devotion, never renouncing Christ. Enraged by his unwavering faith, the Ottomans beheaded him, marking his ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs. His martyrdom stands as a beacon of spiritual strength and unwavering commitment to God. May #Saint Gherasim intercede for us, that we too may have the courage to stand firm in our #Faith. #OrthodoxSaint #Martyr #Prayer #OrthodoxWay
