Paraschiva, as a young girl, after hearing the Gospel read in church, gave away her clothes to a beggar. When her parents saw this, they were not pleased. Eventually, she fled to a monastery in Constantinople. She lived an ascetic life, then reposed in peace. Her relics are in Iași, Romania, and are a source of miracles and blessings for the faithful. Oh, Venerable #Paraschiva, pray to God for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Romania #Miracle

Nicander and Marcian, Roman soldiers, were drawn to Christ by the miracles of Saints Peter and Paul. Witnessing the apostles heal the sick and convert hearts, they embraced the faith and were baptized. Their devotion grew as they buried the bodies of martyred Christians, defying the emperor's decree. Arrested and tortured, they refused to renounce Christ, enduring floggings and fire. Unscathed, they were eventually beheaded, their unwavering faith a testament to God's power. Oh Saints Nicander and Marcian, pray for us sinners! #Saints #Martyrs #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Prayer

--- Stephen the Great, Prince of Moldavia, faced the Ottoman army at Vaslui in 1475. Despite being outnumbered, Stephen's strategic brilliance and the fierce determination of his soldiers secured a decisive victory. He built churches and monasteries after each battle, thanking God for his triumphs and seeking forgiveness for the lives lost. A devout defender of his people and his faith, he became a symbol of resistance against overwhelming odds. Lord, we ask for the intercessions of #Saint Stephen, that we may be inspired by his courage and faith to defend what is right. #Prayer #OrthodoxChristian #Moldavia #HolyPrince

A humble shepherd of souls in Sibiel, #Priest Moses Măcinic, shone with unwavering faith amidst communist oppression. When authorities demanded the church’s bell be silenced, he refused, declaring, "This bell calls people to God, and I will not silence it!" His defiance led to imprisonment and torture, yet his spirit remained unbroken. Pray that his courage inspires us to uphold our beliefs fearlessly. #OrthodoxChristian #Confession #FaithfulServant #RomanianSaints #SpiritualStrength

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. #SaintAndrew #Apostle #OrthodoxSaints #Evangelism #Romania

--- As the vessel of the Incarnation, the Virgin Mary bore the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Her "yes" to Archangel Gabriel's annunciation made salvation possible.

O #VirginMary, lead us closer to your Son. #Pray for us, protect our families, and guide us on the path of #righteousness. #Faith ---
