Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to outline the relationship between cult, in general, and the Holy Liturgy, mainly, and how these realities have influenced the spiritual and historical lution of the Romanian people, aspects also contained by the work of Father Dumitru Stăniloae. Thus, as a complete model of love and ion, the Holy Trinity has been continuously revealed in the orthodox ritualic act while it has integrated each Christian in a spiritual and dialogic dimension, meant to describe the process of the iconic becoming in God. In this respect, each Holy Sacrament, especially the Holy Eucharist, integrated into the Holy Liturgy’s service, brings the consecrating grace of the Holy Trinity as the expression of Christ’s gifts. Therefore, by communing with the Eucharistic Christ, Christians have always kept alive the consciousness of his participation to the life in God, manifesting as personal attributes the love and sacrifice as guides in acquiring and keeping the unity of the Romanian people.
