Mircea Vulcanescu,
Faithful to the end, this Christian martyr was arrested by Communists in Romania. He slept on the wet floor to save his
friend, Richard Wurmbrand, from getting sick in jail.
Mircea refused to give up on his faith in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He died from pneumonia after eight years in
prison.
He was one of the hundreds, no thousands, sorry, TENS of millions, killed by the Communist regimes that imprisoned Eastern Europe for seventy years. Tortured over and over again, bloody and wounded, he never submitted to his prison guards. Threats could not overcome his faith.
Vulcanescu's life and ministry, his family and personal events are unknown to us, but he is one of millions, those who have walked in the steps of the early Christians. He counted his life as nothing compared to the glorious riches awaiting him.
(He is not to be confused with other men in Romanian history who also were given the name Mircea Vulcanescu.)
