Elijah Iorest, Metropolitan of Ardeal, faced intense pressure from the communist regime in Romania to betray his faith and collaborate with the state. He refused, standing firm in his devotion to God. Despite threats and intimidation, he continued to preach the Gospel and minister to his flock, becoming a symbol of resistance and unwavering faith for Orthodox Christians during a dark period of oppression. Let us pray that God will give strength to pastors today to preach the Gospel without fear! #OrthodoxChristian #Faith #Romania #Perseverance #Prayer
