Like the watchmen who stand guard at the gates of a city, over 50 Saints supervise with their intercessions the Romanian People\u2019s Salvation Cathedral.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The saints are depicted on the bronze doors providing access to the new Orthodox Cathedral in Bucharest.<\/p>\n

Welcoming believers on the front doors are the icons of the Saviour Jesus Christ and His Most Holy Mother.<\/p>\n

On the right and left of the main entrance, the doors have the depictions of the 12 Holy Apostles.<\/p>\n

Next to the Mother of God, one can observe the icon of Saint Andrew the First-Called since he is the Patron Saint of Romania and also of the National Cathedral.<\/p>\n

The assembly of Saints depicted on the cathedral\u2019s doors also includes over 20 saintly persons from Romania and 7 Dacian Saints.<\/p>\n

In a speech delivered in 2017, Patriarch Daniel said that as a gift for the devotion of the Romanian people the National Cathedral belongs to \u2018the Romanian Saints of all times and places throughout this country.\u2019<\/p>\n
