Around 1400, Leontie, Bishop of Rădăuți, during a Tatar invasion, rallied his flock. He led them not with a sword, but with the cross. As the Tatars pillaged the town, he gathered the faithful in the church, praying fervently before the altar. Legend says a miraculous fog descended, concealing the church and its people, saving them from the invaders. Leontie’s unwavering faith and leadership preserved his community. Lord, grant us the strength of Bishop Leontie, to stand firm in faith during trials. May his example inspire us to seek Your protection and guidance. #OrthodoxChristian #Bishop #Prayer #Faith #Tradition

Martyr John the New, a merchant, was betrayed by a jealous colleague and arrested in Cetatea Alba. Scorned for his faith by the city's governor, he refused to renounce #Christ, enduring brutal torture: flogging, stoning, and being dragged behind a horse. Unyielding, he was beheaded. His relics, emitting a sweet fragrance, performed miracles, offering healing and solace. Holy Martyr John, intercede for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Martyr #Faith

In 1761, during a time of religious oppression in Transylvania, Oprea of Săliştea, an uneducated peasant, stood firm in his Orthodox Christian faith when pressured to convert to Catholicism. Summoned to Vienna and offered noble status and wealth if he renounced Orthodoxy, Oprea refused, declaring his unwavering loyalty to his ancestral faith. He was imprisoned and tortured but remained steadfast, eventually being martyred for his beliefs, thus becoming a symbol of resistance and faith for the Orthodox Romanians. Holy Martyr Oprea, pray to God for us and inspire us to stand firm in our faith, no matter the cost. #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Faith #Romania #Saints

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. Glory to the #Trinity, one in essence and undivided. We worship You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and forever. #GodIsGood #HolySpirit #Prayer #Bible
