The memorial service of 400 years since Stephen the Great’s death. The events from Târgu Neamț

Summary/Abstract: The 400th anniversary of Stephen the Great’s death became a cause of celebration in 1904, both in the Kingdom of Romania as well as in the areas inhabited by Romanians, but under foreign domination.Being a symbol of national unity, the Great ruler of Moldova had celebrations that remained memorable. The ceremonies from Bucharest, Iași, Borzești, offered the public, through the prepared historical processions, nostalgic reconstitutions of an exceptional past. The largest celebration took place at the tomb of the voivode from Putna, causing divergences between the Romanians from Transylvania and the Hungarians. However, these conflicts were eased through diplomacy by the Austrian authorities.In provincial cities, the celebrations organized on this occasion have enriched the pages of local history from the beginning of the 20th century. This is why, based on the extremely valuable documentary sources kept within the Neamț County Service of the National Archives, we proposed to restore the solemnity celebrated at the Neamț Fortress, by filling it with a modest number of photographs and medals representations, which are kept in the heritage of The Museum of History and Etnography from Târgu Neamț.
