St. Liviu Galaction of Cluj, a priest of unwavering faith, faced communist persecution with courage. In the 1950s, he was arrested for his refusal to renounce his religious beliefs and for continuing to serve his flock in secret. Despite torture and imprisonment, he remained steadfast, offering spiritual guidance to fellow prisoners and comforting them with the hope of Christ. He died in the Turda prison, a martyr for his faith. Holy #Martyr Liviu, intercede for us that we may have the strength to stand firm in our #faith. #Saints #Prayer #OrthodoxChristian

--- Behold, the Virgin #Mary, chosen among women! She conceived by the Holy Spirit, bearing the Son of God, #JesusChrist. An angel appeared to her, saying, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." Though troubled, she humbly accepted God's will, replying, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." She visited Elizabeth, her cousin, who recognized her as the Mother of her Lord. Let us magnify her, ever-blessed and immaculate! O Most Holy #Theotokos, pray for us sinners! #Prayer #Faith #OrthodoxChristian

Epictetus, a priest, and Astion, his disciple, fearlessly spread the Gospel in Scythia. Arrested for converting locals and destroying idols, they refused to renounce Christ before the governor. After brutal torture, including beatings and burnings, they remained steadfast in their faith. Miraculously healed, they were eventually beheaded, becoming martyrs for their unwavering devotion. Let us pray to these #Saints, that through their intercession, we may also find the strength to remain true to our #Faith amidst adversity and to spread the Gospel in our daily lives. O Lord, guide our steps. #OrthodoxChristian #Martyrdom #Prayer

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Come, #HolySpirit, descend upon us and fill us with Your gifts of grace, wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. Guide our hearts and minds, that we may live according to Your will and glorify Your Holy Name. #Prayer #ChristianFaith #GodIsGood #OrthodoxWay

Saint John Cassian, born in Roman Dacia, journeyed to the Egyptian desert seeking spiritual wisdom. He learned from the Desert Fathers, then brought their teachings to the West, establishing monasteries in Gaul. He penned the "Institutes" and "Conferences," guiding monks on prayer and virtue. Once, when his community faced starvation, Cassian prayed fervently. Miraculously, the sea washed ashore a bounty of fish, feeding all. Holy #Saint John, intercede that we may seek true wisdom. Guide us in the path of #prayer and #virtue. #OrthodoxChristian #Tradition
