Jesus, Son of God, walked the earth, teaching love, forgiveness, and redemption. Born in Bethlehem, He performed miracles, healed the sick, and raised the dead. His ministry culminated in His crucifixion, a sacrifice for humanity's sins, followed by His resurrection, conquering death and offering eternal life. He ascended to Heaven, promising to return.
Let us worship Him, our Savior and King.

Martyr Theodosie of Brazi, a Romanian priest, stood firm against the Calvinist count who sought to impose his heretical faith upon the Orthodox people. Imprisoned and tortured, he refused to renounce his belief. They demanded that he renounce the Orthodox faith and embrace Calvinism. He refused and was beheaded. Holy Theodosie, intercede for us that we may have the same courage to defend the True Faith!

Mary, chosen before time began, bore the Son of God, yet remained a humble servant. At the Annunciation, she accepted God's will with unwavering faith: "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." Her "yes" opened the gates of Heaven for humanity. She nurtured Jesus, sharing in His ministry and suffering at the foot of the Cross. After His Ascension, she remained with the Apostles, a pillar of the early Church.
Holy #Theotokos, intercede for us! May we emulate your obedience and devotion. Help us say yes to God's call in our lives. #MotherOfGod #Prayer #Faith #Christianity #Obedience
Iuliu, a Romanian soldier in World War II, was captured by the Soviets. Pressured to renounce his faith and join their ranks, he refused. Despite torture, he wouldn't deny Christ. He was eventually martyred for his unwavering faith. His last words were a prayer for his persecutors.
Let us pray to #Martyr Iuliu, that his sacrifice inspires us to stand firm in our #Faith, and be a beacon of #Virtue. May his prayers strengthen us to always choose #GodIsGood above worldly temptations.
During communism, Bishop Bretanion of Tomis was arrested for defending the rights of Christians and opposing the regime's interference in church affairs.

Pray that Bishop Bretanion's example inspires us to stand firm in our beliefs and defend the #church against oppression. #saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #GodIsGood
John, a merchant of Trebizond, was in Belgorod (Cetatea Alba) when slandered by a Latin merchant for his faith. Despite promises of wealth and honor if he renounced Christ, John refused. Tortured brutally, he was dragged behind a horse until his body was torn to shreds. Before he died he prayed to God. His severed head was then recovered by pious Christians and interred.
Holy Martyr John, pray to God for us to be steadfast in our faith, even unto death. #Saints #OrthodoxFaith #Martyr #Christianity #Prayer
Peter Mogila, a man of noble birth, chose the monastic life over worldly power. As Metropolitan of Kiev, he faced immense pressure to unite with Rome but stood firm in his Orthodox faith.

A humble shepherd of souls in Sibiel, #Priest Moses MΔcinic, shone with unwavering faith amidst communist oppression. When authorities demanded the churchβs bell be silenced, he refused, declaring, "This bell calls people to God, and I will not silence it!"

Saint Andrew, brother of Simon Peter, was called by Jesus Himself to be an Apostle. Before following Christ, he was a disciple of John the Baptist. Andrew introduced Peter to Jesus, saying, "We have found the Messiah." He preached the Gospel throughout Scythia, modern-day Romania and Ukraine and was martyred in Patras, Greece, crucified on an X-shaped cross.
Let us pray to Saint Andrew, that through his intercessions, we may be strengthened in our faith and be zealous in sharing the Good News with others.

Venerable Nicodim, a monk of Serbian origin, established the Tismana Monastery in Romania during the 14th century. Guided by divine vision, he chose a hidden cave as his hermitage. Legend says, while praying, the Theotokos appeared to him, directing him to build a monastery on that very spot. Skilled in calligraphy and a scholar, Nicodim translated religious texts and promoted literacy. He fostered a spiritual revival, emphasizing prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. His monastic community became a beacon of faith, and learning, and charity in the region. O Holy Father Nicodim, intercede with Christ God for us!
