THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF ONE PASTOR’S WITNESS, THE PEOPLE OF ROMANIA AND THE OVERHROW OF CEAUSESCU.

Candles flickered in the hands of the people standing in the dark street in Timisoara. Like the flames leaping from candle to candle, one man’s courage had spread from person to person all through that day. Word had traveled around the city, officials were evicting the pastor at the Hungarian Reformed Church, but he refused to go. People began to gather in front of the church. Hour by hour, the crowd swelled as more people came to show their support for Laszlo Tokes’s defiant stand.

The spark from Timisoara grew to a flame that swept the nation. As the unrest increased, Nicolae Ceausescu angrily blamed Tokes. The thirty eight year old pastor knew his days were numbered. No one survived the censure of the Great Conducator.
