Six Decades since a Blessed Event in the History of the Relics of Venerable Saint Parascheva – the Generalization of Her Veneration (October 1955-October 2015)

Summary/Abstract: Although the Romanian nation produced, throughout its history, numerous saints, canonization took place during the noteworthy rule of Patriarch Justinian Marina (1948-1977), in 1950. Together with the introduction into the calendar of Romanian saints, the generalization of venerating the saints whose relics are in our country was decided. Among the saints whose veneration was extended at the time, was Venerable St Parascheva “the housewife-like enlightener of Moldavia”, whose holy relics were brought to Iaşi in 1641, during the reign of the pious Prince Vasile Lupu and the holy Bishop and scholar Varlaam.The proclamation of the generalization of St Parascheva’s veneration was held on October 14th, 1955, six decades ago, during the noteworthy rule of Metropolitan Sebastian Rusan (1950-1956). The dedication day was a day of liturgical and spiritual significance. Both Romanian Hierarchs and those of other Jurisdictions, along with many priests, monks, nuns and many of the faithful attended the event.
