Venerable Cleopa once faced a severe test of faith during World War II. Accused of aiding resistance fighters, he was interrogated relentlessly by communist authorities. Despite intense pressure and threats, Cleopa refused to betray those he sheltered. He maintained his innocence, relying on prayer and unwavering trust in God. Eventually, his captors, unable to break his spirit or find concrete evidence, released him. This act of courage solidified his reputation as a steadfast defender of the faithful, even in the face of persecution. Let us pray that his example inspires us to stand firm in our beliefs. #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #VenerableCleopa #Faith #Courage
