Romania - Sibiu - Holy Trinity Cathedral
Holy Trinity Cathedral in Sibiu, Romania.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, Sibiu (Romanian: Catedrala Sfânta Treime din Sibiu), located at 35 Mitropoliei Street, Sibiu, Romania, is the seat of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu and Metropolitan of Transylvania. It was built in the style of a Byzantine basilica, inspired by Hagia Sophia,[1] with the main spires influenced by Transylvanian church architecture and Baroque elements.[1]
The idea of building an Orthodox cathedral in Sibiu began with Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna, who in the autumn of 1857 asked Emperor Franz Joseph I for permission to send a circular to his diocese requesting that priests and laymen give donations. He sent the letter before Christmas that year, and the first donor was the Emperor himself, who gave 1000 gold coins, followed by the governor of Transylvania with 50, Şaguna with 2000 florins, and many others. Donations continued to come in following Şaguna's death in 1873; the cornerstone was laid on 18 August 1902, when Ioan Meţianu was Metropolitan. In order to free the space to build the cathedral (which took up five lots on Mitropoliei Street and three on Xenopol Street, where it also has an entrance), eight nearby houses had to be demolished, as well as the little Greek church built in 1797-1799 that had heretofore served as a cathedral.[2][3]
Work, coordinated by city architect Iosif Schussnig, began in 1902 and was finished in 1904, when the copper roof was done. The plan, by Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner of Budapest, was chosen from among designs submitted by 31 mainly Austrian and Hungarian architects. On 13 December 1904, the four bells were blessed and placed in the two main spires (during World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Army melted the three bells in the western spire for use as cannons; these were not replaced until 1926).[1] The iconostasis and kliros were then manufactured at Constantin Babic's firm in Bucharest; electric lighting was also installed. The iconostasis (of gilt carved wood) and dome (showing Christ Pantocrator flanked by angels) were painted by Octavian Smigelschi, from the nearby village of Ludoș.[2]
The exterior is in red and yellow brick. The spacious nave is bordered by smaller spherical roofs and four towers: two smaller octagonal ones, and two larger ones near the entrance with a square base that becomes octagonal in the bell area. The ends of the towers are shaped like double bulbs, with a skylight in the centre. The main entrance is through a portico with three semicircular doors. Behind this and between the main towers is an ample semicircular vestibule with a similarly-shaped stained-glass window, while the outside is decorated with round mosaics showing Jesus and the Four Evangelists.[2] The cathedral is 53.10m long and 25.40m wide in the centre, the dome 24.70m high (34.70m on the exterior) and 15m in diameter, while the spires are 43m high (45m including the crosses).[1]
On 30 April 1906, Metropolitan Meţianu, joined by his suffragan bishop from Arad, Ioan Papp, and a group of priests and deacons, consecrated the cathedral. Nicolae Iorga was also present; he donated a silver engolpion and a valuable icon. Since its dedication, the cathedral has undergone a number of restorations and improvements: the walls have been decorated with neo-Byzantine paintings by Iosif Keber and Anastasie Demian, and liturgical objects, vestments, books and a sound system have all been added. Divine Liturgy and Vespers take place daily, as well as other services when provided for.

07 Timisoara and Sibiu Romania
The Timișoara Orthodox Cathedral is a Romanian Orthodox church in Timișoara, in the historical Banat region, in western Romania. We visited the Cathedral and the Victory Square with the statue of Romulus and Remus which is a tribute to Italy. We also enjoyed the Opera House on the large square. We had lunch at a local restaurant and had a very difficult time trying to figure out what to order since it was all in Romanian! We used Body and Soul by Shahin and Sepehr for the music.
Romania: Cathedral of National Redemption's consecration draws tens of thousands
The Cathedral of National Redemption was consecrated after eight years of construction works in Bucharest on Sunday, before an estimated 40,000 worshipers.
SOT, Ionut, worshiper (Romanian): For me, the cathedral consecration is a once in a lifetime event, for at least our lifetimes, our generation, and we come here filled with joy to this wonderful consecration service. We thank God that the weather is on our side, more or less.
SOT, Worshiper (Romanian): Now, exactly 100 years after millions of Romanians sacrificed their lives, with faith in God, if they hadn't had their faith they never would have laid down their lives, so that Romania can be great, now, one hundred years later, a cathedral is being built, dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord, also the Heroes' Commemoration Day. I am convinced that they, from up there, at God's side, in Heaven, are now rejoicing. All the soldiers, all the rulers of the old days, people of faith, are rejoicing at the same time with us, because this people was finally able to build a cathedral for itself, to match its strong and true belief.

Eating Cow Stomach Soup | Sibiu Romania E029
In the afternoon at Sibiu Romania I walked to a nearby Romanian Orthodox Cathedral to see an amazing ceiling. After, I went to a local Romanian restaurant Kon-Tiki to have traditional Romanian cow stomach soup (Ciorbă de burtă). Note: in the video my friend did translation and believed we were eating Pig Stomach Soup (it was unclear in translation). Anyway, It is amazing!

Romanian Church Picnic
April 22, 2018
Richis - The fortified church, Sibiu, Romania
The church was built in successive stages in the form of a towerless Gothic basilica. The oldest elements of architecture of the present-day church date from the second half of the 14-th century. The year 1541 is engraved on a keystone and on the chancel arch, indicating the conclusion of the construction at large.
In comparison with other village churches, this monument is unique, because of the two chapels flanking the choire. The same planimetric pattern was used at the Sain Michaels Church in Cluj-Napoca. The vestry door, the sacrament alcove, the pulpit, the west portal, the key stones and the vault ribs, resting on on corbels or on collonnettes with capitals, highlight the Gothic architectural sculptures.
The nave and the aisles, the choir and the lateral chapels are cross-vaulted and display keystones decorated with a wide range of leaf, zoomorphic and antropomorphic designs. No other village church in Transylvania boasts a richer repertoire of keystones. On some of them, we see Christ's face, a representation of a pelicanfeeding its young and a representation of the Lamb with the Ressurection Flag.
We got to the church, a beautiful building, but nothing very different from the ones you see all over Transylvania. Well, nothing until you actually step inside and let the church curator, a very funny and lively old man named Herr Johann Schaas -- a man with an incredible talent for storytelling - guide you into the mysterious world of the Richiş church.
Mr Schaas began by giving us the historic context, how he came to become the curator of the church, how he wanted to restore it, and how he made the Discovery accidentally. How the Green Man became part of his life. The Green Man! A mythical character -- the way he describes him -- is part of his life, the same way the Green Man's destiny is part of Mr. Schaas' destiny.
So who is this Green Man? It turns out, this Green Man is a face present all over the church, in the most peculiar of places, hidden yet ubiquitous, discreet yet watchful, simple yet extremely complex. A remarkable turn of spiritual and cultural events brought this pagan Celtic figure into a Christian Church, in a face off with Jesus himself (literally)!
I won't go into many details about the research done into this occurence as I rather let everyone go and discover the story themselves -- the way Herr Schaas tells his story adds to the facts exponentially. I'll just end this little story by saying we spent over an hour and a half listening to an old man talking about some Green Man in a Saxon Church in Central Transylvania while making jokes about John the Baptist's (lack of) clothes and the way girls' scrupulous eyes always had something to be ashamed of during the sermon.
We'll return to find other mysteries of the church. Thank you Mr. Johann Schaas.
