Summary/Abstract: Presbytera Lucreția Murǎșianu remanins in the collective memory as one of the exceptional female figures, with a tireless activity in the social-cultural and religious field, which can hardly be matched by anyone. Being at the helm of the National Orthodox Society of Romanian Women Turda for a long time, she dedicated herself to a true community apostolate, during adverse times. Many of her deeds remained memorable, such as attending the soldiers wounded on the front and hospitalized in Turda during the First World War, but also the way she helped and supported his husband, the worthy archpriest Jovian Murǎșianu, in his pioneering activity, like the construction of the great Orthodox Cathedral dedicated to St. Archangels Michael and Gabriel in the center of Turda. For her missionary work in the Church and society, presbytera Lucreția Murǎșianu inscribed her name in golden letters in the gallery of famous personalities of Turda.
