Summary/Abstract: In the history of the Romanians, the First World War (1914-1918) was consecrated as the War of the National Reunification (1916-1919), through which was achieved the liberation of some ancestral territories, as well as the fulfillment of the multi-secular yearning to create state unity. At this crucial moment for our existential destiny, the Romanian Orthodox Church played a substantial role in the equation of resistance and victory to the end, through some hierarchs, military priests, parish clergy, monks and nuns, seminarians, students and graduates in theology, church singers and lay believers. All of them raised prayers for the victory of our soldiers over the enemy and supported them spiritually, morally and materially. Also, they were permanently in the front line of saving the lives of the sons of the country wounded on the front, perpetuating the cult of heroes, helping orphaned children, war widows and refugees.
