In the harsh era of Reformation, Elijah Iorest, Metropolitan of Ardeal, stood firm. Refusing to convert to Calvinism, he endured imprisonment, torture, and deprivation. His unwavering faith and refusal to compromise the Orthodox beliefs of his flock earned him the title of Confessor. His steadfastness preserved the soul of his people amidst relentless pressure.

O, #HolyElijah, pray for us, that we may also remain steadfast in #Faith, facing trials with courage and #LoveForGod. May your intercessions bring #Peace to our hearts and strength to our souls, now and forever. #OrthodoxChurch #Confessor #Saints
