Visarion, born in 1714, left his wealthy Craiova home to embrace monastic life at Lainici Monastery. A profound spiritual awakening led him to Mount Athos, then throughout Romania, preaching repentance and denouncing moral decay. Arrested in Bucharest for challenging societal vices, he endured torture and imprisonment. Refusing to recant his faith, he died a martyr's death in 1744. May his prayers guide us to uphold truth and live a life of unwavering faith.
Let us beseech #Visarion's intercession for strength and courage. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Faith #Prayer
