Venerable Confessor Sofronie of Cioara, born a simple peasant, became a monk and tirelessly defended Orthodox teachings in 18th-century Transylvania against forced conversions to Catholicism. His unwavering faith led to imprisonment and exile, yet he continued to preach and inspire, drawing many back to #Orthodoxy. He fought not with sword, but with #prayer and the word of #God.
O righteous Sofronie, intercede for us that we may remain steadfast in faith and truth. #Saints #Confessors #Christian
