Venerable Sofronie, a simple monk from Cioara, stood firm against the forced union with Rome in 1761. He rallied thousands of Orthodox Romanians in Alba Iulia, Turda, and Cluj, defending their ancestral faith. His powerful sermons and unwavering conviction inspired a spiritual awakening, preventing many from abandoning Orthodoxy under duress. Despite facing imprisonment and exile, his spirit remained unbroken, a beacon of hope for his people.
