Calendarul zilei 22 septembrie: Sf. Ier. Mc. Teodosie de la M. Brazi, Sf. Sfințit Mc. Foca,

On September 22, the Orthodox Church commemorates Saint Hierarch Martyr Teodosie of Brazi Monastery and Saint Martyr Foca, Bishop of Sinop. Teodosie, born in the 17th century in Vrancea, dedicated his life to monasticism and was appointed as the Bishop of Rădăuți and later of Roman. He faced significant challenges during the Turkish and Tatar invasions, advocating for his people and enduring imprisonment. Ultimately, he was martyred by Tatars at Brazi Monastery, refusing to surrender the monastery's treasures. His relics were discovered in 1842 and are now a source of healing. He was canonized in 2003. Saint Foca, born in Sinop, was known for his miracles and was martyred under Emperor Trajan's orders.
