On this day, we remember Martyr Oprea of Săliştea, a Romanian peasant who, in 1760, refused to renounce his Orthodox faith under pressure from the Austro-Hungarian authorities seeking to convert Orthodox Christians to Catholicism. Oprea remained steadfast, declaring, "I was born Orthodox, and Orthodox I will die!" For his unwavering devotion, he endured torture and ultimately embraced martyrdom for #Christ.
Holy Martyr Oprea, intercede for us before the throne of God, that we too may have the strength to stand firm in our #Faith and witness to the truth of #Orthodoxy in a world that often rejects it. May your example inspire us to live lives of unwavering commitment to #God. #Saints #Prayer
