Reflecţii asupra legăturii mistice dintre martyrion-ul creştin şi Altarul euharistic
Reflections on the mystic connection between the christian martyrion and the euharistic altar

Summary/Abstract: In the Romanian Patriarchate, 2021, the commemorative year of those asleep, offers us the opportunity to reflect on the liturgical and cultural value of cemeteries. In this context, we cannot overlook those graves and cemeteries that shelter the bones of the martyrs of the Christian faith. From the beginning of Christianity, they had a special prestige in the piety of the Church. This comes out clearly, especially from the connection between Christian martyrdom and the celebration of the Eucharist. In this article we aim to present how the relics of the martyrs entered the structure of the Eucharistic Altar, while emphasizing the theology that was the basis of this process.
