In 1683, as the Ottoman army besieged Vienna, Prince Apafi Mihaly of Transylvania, under Ottoman influence, demanded Metropolitan Sava Brancovici to renounce ties with Bucharest and recognize the Calvinist creed. Sava refused, prioritizing his Orthodox faith. For this unwavering stance, he was imprisoned in chains in Alba Iulia, facing starvation and hardship. Despite the suffering, Sava remained steadfast, becoming a symbol of resistance against religious coercion and a protector of #Orthodoxy. Pray that through Saint Sava's intercessions, we gain strength to defend our faith against all adversities and remain true to Christ. #Saints #Prayer #Tradition #Faith
