Venerable Visarion, a humble monk, stood firm against the pressures of forced conversions during a tumultuous time. He refused to abandon his Orthodox faith, enduring imprisonment and torture rather than renounce Christ. Even when faced with threats, he continued to preach and strengthen the faithful, becoming a beacon of hope and resilience. His unwavering dedication inspired many to remain steadfast in their beliefs. Venerable Visarion's example reminds us to stand firm in our faith, no matter the cost. Pray to #Visarion to intercede for us. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Confession #Faith #Perseverance

Dosoftei, a beacon of faith during tumultuous times, championed Romanian culture and spirituality. As Metropolitan of Moldavia in the 17th century, he faced political unrest and Ottoman pressure, yet never wavered. He established the first printing press in Iasi, publishing theological and liturgical texts in Romanian, making knowledge accessible to all. A prolific writer and translator, his works fostered national identity and strengthened the Church's role as a guardian of tradition. O Holy Hierarch Dosoftei, intercede for us, that we may be steadfast in faith and dedicated to preserving our spiritual heritage. #saints #OrthodoxChurch #RomanianCulture #Prayer #Theology
