In 1822, Metropolitan **#GregoryIV** fearlessly confronted the Ottoman Pasha, who demanded a bribe. Gregory, a man of unwavering principles, declared that the Church's wealth belonged to God and could not be used for worldly gain. Facing potential imprisonment, he stood firm, ultimately shaming the Pasha into backing down. His steadfastness defended the Church's integrity and highlighted his dedication to his faith. Saint Gregory, pray for us, that we may also be strong in our faith and do God's will. #RomanianSaints #OrthodoxFaith #Integrity #ChristianWitness #ChurchHistory
