Eparhia Vadului, Feleacului şi Clujului, o istorie sub semnul centenarului (1921-2021)
Diocese of Vad, Feleac and Cluj, a history under the sign of the centenary (1921-2021)

Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2021, the Romanian Orthodox Eparchy of Vad, Feleac and Cluj, today archdiocese and headquarters of the Metropolia of Cluj, Maramureş and Sălaj, celebrates a century of existence. The festive moment represents a suitable opportunity to write an overview of this historical path, highlighting the main stages of development of the church institution over the hundred years. The study starts from the sketch of the medieval historical tradition of the diocese, focuses on the restoration projects launched between 1864-1918, and then captures the evolution of the diocese in the four major phases of its existence: the beginnings under Nicolae Ivan and the interwar period, the painful time of Northern Transylvania being annexed by Horty’s Hungary, after the Vienna Dictate (August 30, 1940), the era of restrictions during the communist regime and the last three decades, from the dawn of the democratic transition till the present.
