Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Colan was a hierarch and a writer of great quality and in addition to religious writings he had numerous publicistic writings. For 31 years, Nicolae Colan, first bishop and then Metropolite, sent letters for transmitting the teachings of the Gospel. His pastoral letters express profound ideas in a language that makes them accessible to all. In composing them, the great hierarch uses the Scripture as his primary source. Filled with facts and thoughts of great significance, they managed to move and infuse good thoughts to the faithful. Due to the lyricism of the texts, given by style and vocabulary, which is particularly rich and varied, the message easily impress and reach the souls of believers. In all his pastoral letters, besides a clear and natural style, Colan reveals a special symbolism, which highlights the author’s sensitivity.
