Considerations on the life and activity of priest Alexandru Vidrighinescu (1885-1958) from Ocna Sibiului

Summary/Abstract: The subject of our study, the priest Alexandru Vidrighinescu, is a clerical figure less known to specialists in church history. For this reason, the present material can be considered as an attempt to recover the memory of a Romanian orthodox priest from Transylvania. After his years of theological studies at the Şaguna Seminary in Sibiu, Alexandru Vidrighinescu was functioning as priest in Ocna Sibiului. Through his intellectual and human qualities, he stood out in the local Romanian community as one of the most representative figures. A true patriot, he soon got involved in the national movement of the Romanians from Transylvania and contributed to the Great Union from December 1st, 1918. He took part, in his official capacity, at the great event from Alba Iulia. During the interwar period, priest Vidrighinescu got involved in the political life of Greater Romania, being a member of the Romanian National Party. Later, he became a military priest in Bârlad and Râmnicu Vâlcea, reaching the rank of major. Unfortunately, many aspects of his life and activity remain unknown at the current stage of research.
