Nicolae Dasc\u0103lu and Archimandrite Mihail Daniliuc, abbot of the Vovidenia-Neam\u021b Skete.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Church cultivates the relationship with the past, but also with the future, as well as the relationship with the cultural heritage, but also with the spiritual one, because our monasteries, valuable spiritual centers, are located in true mouths of Heaven. And the Church has been and is always close to those who love monuments,\u201d Fr. Nicolae added.<\/p>\n

Archimandrite Mihail also spoke, emphasizing that \u201cthe cultural-monastic are of V\u00e2n\u0103tori\u2011Neam\u021b deserves to be promoted and included in the UNESCO patrimony, because the monks and nuns who lived here sanctified time and space, but also their own lives, because many monks who lived in the area have been numbered among the saints.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event also included a photography exhibition and the screening of a film dedicated to the monasteries and natural landscape of V\u00e2n\u0103tori-Neam\u021b, and demonstrations by local craftsmen.<\/p>\n
