A brilliant theologian and professor, Fr. Ilarion Felea refused to compromise his faith under the communist regime. Arrested for his unwavering sermons and teachings, he endured brutal torture. Offered freedom if he renounced his beliefs, he chose martyrdom, proclaiming, "Christ is my life, and death is my gain!" His last act was blessing his torturers.
Holy Priest Martyr Ilarion, intercede for us that we may have the strength to stand firm in our #Faith! #Martyr #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Romania
