Summary/Abstract: “The Orthodox Deanery of Alba Iulia during 1940-1945” presents the Orthodox Deanery of Alba Iulia in the years of World War II when it had acquired a special status among other Deaneries (as “central”) – in the special circumstances of creating a Vicarage in Alba Iulia as a consequence of the dismemberment of the Diocese of Vad, Feleac and Cluj after the Vienna Dictate (August 30 1940). During that period the Orthodox Deanery of Alba Iulia had achieved outstanding results due to the possibility of activating different resources by the Dean Alexandru Baba, now head of the Vicarage. The paper also provides general history elements about the religious life in middle Transylvania in the years of World War II.
