Romanian National Television (TVR1) presents the story of Br. Sava, an American monk laboring at Oaşa Monastery in Romania. Steven grew up a Roman Catholic in New Orleans but became captivated by Orthodoxy through reading Dostoyevsky, eventually entering the Church on the feast of the Transfiguration in 1977. After years of working as an accountant he gave up such a life to enter into the holy life of monasticism, first in Ohio, then on Mt. Athos, finally finding his home in Romania.
