Calendarul zilei 15 septembrie: Sf. Iosif de la Partoș, ocrotitorul Banatului. De ce este considerat protectorul pompierilor

Saint Joseph the New of Partos, born in 1568 in Ragusa, Dalmatia, became a monk and later the Metropolitan of Timișoara. He was known for his piety, miracles, and leadership in the Orthodox Church. His notable act of bravery during a fire in Timișoara in 1652, where he prayed for the city's protection, led to rain that extinguished the flames. Canonized in 1956, he is celebrated on September 15 and is recognized as the protector of firefighters and chimney sweeps in Romania.
