Romanian Welcome Gate. By God’s grace, we intend to construct a Maramureș-style entry gate, inspired by the design of the gate at Sihăstria Neamț. Besides its essential function as a gate that can open/close automatically, it will serve as a (Romanian) sign of welcome for our monastery. The architectural design is in an advanced stage and we have obtained the necessary construction permits. Thanks to the mediation of several faithful devoted to the monastery, the gate will be manufactured by a team of craftsmen near Bârsana in Maramureș County, and then it will be transported and installed here. We express our gratitude to all of our Christian brethren who have expressed their support for this project, as well as those who have already offered donations.
Holy Unction. With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Nicolae, the Mystery of Holy Unction will be served at our monastery every Saturday at 11 a.m., following the Divine Liturgy. This will be possible beginning in July, because Father Abbot Melchisedec, with much goodwill, has allowed us to host permanantly one hieromonk at a time from Putna Monastery, on a three-month rotation.
Icons. With the blessing of His Eminence Nicolae, printed icons are mounted to wood in our monastery.
Pure beeswax candles. Pure beeswax candles are also made in our monastery to adorn the prayer of every Christian. A pure wax candle burning during private or church prayer is a sacrifice pleasing to God.
