Omul providenţial pentru Eparhia Vadului, Feleacului şi Clujului
The Providential Man for the Vad, Feleac and Cluj Eparchy

Summary/Abstract: Paying tribute to the ancestors is a gesture of gratitude and an antidote to oblivion. Highlighting their wonderful deeds shows character. If we keep quiet about Bishop Nicolae Ivan’s accomplishments, “the stones will cry out” (Luke 19:40) about them, especially the stones of the Cathedral’s walls. Wherever we go and whenever we look throughout the eparchy, we encounter the accomplishments of this great founder. At his arrival in Cluj, Bishop Nicolae Ivan was 66 years old and showed great experience. The mission he carried out in the Sibiu eparchy, including the building of cathedrals and churches in Sibiu, Alba Iulia, Aiud and Orăştie, recommended him as the most appropriate refounder of the eparchy. Moreover, the confidence that he was granted proved to be auspicious. We strongly affirm that the city has been marked by his personality. And today, the city is mostly Romanian and Orthodox.
