“This anniversary honors not only our past but also the sacrifices of Romanian Orthodox priests and martyrs of the 20th century, who upheld the faith during trials and persecutions,” the Patriarch emphasized.

Established on November 1, 1925, with the enthronement of Patriarch Miron Cristea, the Romanian Patriarchate symbolizes a century of spiritual and national unity. Recognized internationally through the Tomos of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and other Orthodox Churches, it has remained a steadfast torch of faith and cultural identity.

The centennial celebration is a call to honor this legacy and reaffirm the Church's role in the spiritual and cultural life of Romania.
