The word “monastery” quickly reminds us of the monks in Egypt and the Holy Land, of the monasteries of Mount Athos, but also of the historical monasteries in our country. Through the love of our Savior Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, each monastery has its own past and history, whether it is a monastery of monks or nuns. As it is known, the Râmnic region is rich in monastic monuments erected by voivodes, hierarchs, nobles and Christian laymen. My episcopal ministry for a while in Râmnic (2009-2017) occasioned various stops at the monastic settlements, together with those close to me. This is how I received a visit from Professor Dr. Valentin Ciorbea (Mr.Ciorbea, was my professor of Contemporary Universal History in the fourth year at college, at the “Ovidius” University of Constanța), who discovered the significance of the Dintr-un Lemn Monastery and the contribution of General Paul Teodorescu to the revival of this monastic center
