Summary/Abstract: Being a main element of the ethnic, linguistic and spiritual formation of the Romanianpeople, Christianity has represented a permanance within our spiritual space for almosttwo milleniums. Being the oldest christians in this part of Europe – the Bulgarians,the Serbians, the Russians and the Hungarians received the saving word of the Gospelmuch later – the Romanians adopted the religion of love from the very fi rst stage oftheir formation as people, so that the process of christianizing was simultaneous andindissolubly linked to that of the Romanisation of the autochtonous population.
