Iuliu Veteranul, a Romanian soldier during World War II, was captured by the Soviets and faced immense pressure to renounce his faith and join their ranks. Despite torture and threats, he steadfastly refused, declaring his unwavering loyalty to God and his homeland. He was eventually martyred for his beliefs, becoming a symbol of faith and resistance against oppression.

O Holy Martyr Iuliu, intercede for us that we may have the strength to stand firm in our #Faith. #Prayer #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Romania
