Venerable Visarion, a humble monk, faced persecution for defending Orthodox teachings against imperial decrees. He endured imprisonment and torture, refusing to compromise his faith. His steadfastness inspired many to remain true to #Orthodoxy. O, Visarion, pray to #God for us, that we may also have the strength to stand firm in our beliefs. #Saints #Romania #Confessor
Venerable Cleopa, a beacon of monastic wisdom, guided countless souls to Christ. Once, a distraught woman sought his counsel, confessing her inability to forgive a grievous wrong. Father Cleopa, with eyes full of compassion, told her the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers. He then revealed how unforgiveness is a prison, both for the one who holds it and the one who is held captive by it. Through prayer and humility, he urged her to break free from her resentment and embrace God's boundless forgiveness, showing her that forgiveness sets free not only the forgiven but also the forgiver. Venerable Cleopa, intercede for us that we may also be granted the gift of forgiveness and love. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Forgiveness #Monasticism
Born in Moldavia, he yearned for monastic life early on, wandering to monasteries, facing trials, and ultimately finding guidance on Mount Athos. Known for extreme humility, he once secretly cleaned the monastery latrines at night. When his superiors discovered this, they were awed by his profound selflessness. He healed the sick and comforted the afflicted.
Let us pray to #Antipa that through his example of humility and dedication, we too may find the strength to serve others selflessly and live a life devoted to #God. May his prayers guide us towards true repentance and a deeper connection with the #OrthodoxChurch.

Let us pray to #SaintLupos, that through his intercession, we may be granted the strength to resist temptation and remain true to our beliefs, glorifying #GodIsGood through our words and deeds. #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Prayer
