Venerable Confessor Sofronie of Cioara, a simple monk, became a beacon of faith in 18th-century Transylvania. When the Habsburg Empire sought to forcibly unite Orthodox Romanians with the Catholic Church, Sofronie emerged as a defender of Orthodoxy. He traveled throughout the land, strengthening believers and organizing resistance against the imposed union. His unwavering commitment led to imprisonment and exile, but his spirit remained unbroken, inspiring countless others to hold fast to their ancestral faith.
