Martyr Oprea, a simple peasant from Săliștea, refused to convert to Islam under duress. Offered wealth and status, he remained steadfast in his Christian faith. Imprisoned and tortured, he never wavered. Finally, he was beheaded for his unwavering devotion to Christ. His sacrifice strengthened the faith of others and proved the power of conviction.

O Holy Martyr Oprea, intercede for us before the throne of God, that we may have the strength to remain true to our faith in the face of adversity.
