Dear friends,
The guide Monastic Roads narrates of the cloistral
archipelagosMoldovaand would like to invite you
to take part in pilgrimage and spiritual-cognitive tourism
to get familiar with the history, religion, culture, traditions
and contemporary of our country.

During the long centuries the lands that nowadays
form the territory of Moldova survived hard times, while
the faith remained the main shelter to protect from
calamities and misfortunes. The numberless monasteries
erected in this country are the unequivocal proof thereof:
Tipova (XII century), Capriana (1429), Hincu (1678), Japca
(XVII century), Tiganesti (1725), Harbovet (1730), Harjauca
(1740), Varzaresti (1770), Dobrusa (1772), Curchi (1773),
Saharna (1776), Rudi (1777), Tabara (1779), Calaraseuca
(1782), Condrita (1783), Suruceni (1785), Cuseleuca (1786),
Raciula (1794), Frumoasa (1804), Hirova (1805), Zloti (1841)
and others. All the aforementioned monastic complexes
represent the factual proof of the faith of our nation.

The cloisters represent historic heritage and cultural
significance and also a witness of the rigid repulse against
the soviet oppression and religious prohibition suffered
in XX century by this land, and especially by its churches,
monasteries and people of faith. That period almost all
sacred cloisters survived closure and dilapidation, and were
turned into stables, clubs, sport halls, deposits, hospitals
and the like. Upon heralding of independence, the Republic
of Moldova has managed to revive its traditions, to reopen
monasteries and to construct new churches.

Visits to monasteries provide tourists with a chance
to discover Orthodox rites and customs practiced in the
cloisters, to touch upon the Orthodox religion. For instance,
you will find out the structure of a monastic complex
(a church, cells, refectory, hotel for pilgrims, a chapel,
a kitchen, a belfry). These are the unique examples of
architecture of special interest for those who wish to follow
how cloistral architecture changed from epoch to epoch.

Those who follow the Monastic Roads of Moldova
will chance to admire the cloistral ensembles in congruence
with picturesque landscapes and to testify how unique and
original is location and surroundings of every cloister.

Inclusion of these pearls of architecture and nature
into the national and international touristic routes will
allow us increase the interest of monastic communities
towards restoration, rehabilitation and preservation of the
cloisters, and on the other hand to attract more visitors and
guests.

To wind up let me cite the utterance of John
Chrysostom: Try to discover the divine and it will be far
easier to discover the secular.
You are welcome to Moldova!

2 Drumul mnstirilor
WORD OF INTRODUCTION CUVNT DE SALUT
Dragi prieteni!
Ghidul Drumul mnstirilor pune n valoare arhipelagul

mnstiresc al Republicii Moldova, invit la cunoaterea
istoriei, credinei, culturii, tradiiilor i modernitii rii
noastre prin turismul de pelerinaj i turismul religios.

De-a lungul secolelor, teritoriul actualului stat
Republica Moldova a avut o istorie zbuciumat credina
constituind principalul scut de aprare n faa urgiilor.
Dovad este i numrul mare al mnstirilor ridicate pe
meleagurile noastre: ipova (sec. XII), Cpriana (1429),
Hncu (1678), Japca (sec. XVII), igneti (1725), Hrbov
(1730), Hrjauca (1740), Vrzreti (1770), Dobrua (1772),
Curchi (1773), Saharna (1776), Rudi (1777), Tabra (1779),
Clreuca (1782), Condria (1783), Suruceni (1785),
Cueluca (1786), Rciula (1794), Frumoasa (1804), Hirova
(1805), Zloi (1841) etc. Toate aceste aezminte de cult
constituie, de fapt, mrturia credinei neamului nostru.

Dincolo de valoarea lor istoric i cultural, ele fac
dovada rezistenei n faa terorii comuniste care s-a abtut
n sec. XX peste acest pmnt i, mai cu seam, peste
biserici, mnstiri i credincioi. Numeroase locae sfinte au
fost nchise, devastate i transformate n grajduri, cluburi,
sli de sport, depozite, spitale etc. Odat cu proclamarea
independenei Republicii Moldova a fost posibil revenirea
la tradiii, redeschiderea mnstirilor i nfiinarea noilor
aezminte de cult.

Prin vizitarea mnstirilor turitii al posibilitatea s
cunoasc i s se apropie de cultul ortodox i de rnduielile
din aceste aezminte. Vei descoperi c edificiile din
mnstiri (biserica, chiliile, trapeza, arhondaricul,
paraclisul, cuhnia (buctria), turnul-clopotni) reprezint
un material valoros pentru doritorii de a admira evoluia
stilurilor arhitecturale ecleziastice de la o epoc la alta.

Cei ce vor parcurge drumul mnstirilor, vor descoperi
complexe monahale plasate organic ntr-un mediu
peisagistic de excepie, irepetabil de la un obiectiv la altul.

Integrarea acestor bijuterii arhitecturale i
peisagistice n circuitul turismului naional i internaional
va face s sporeasc interesul comunitilor monahale
pentru restaurarea, restabilirea i buna meninere a
mnstirilor, pe de o parte i atragerea unui numr ct mai
mare de vizitatori, pe de alt parte.

in s nchei cu un ndemn lsat de Sf. Ioan Gur
de Aur: S cutm ceea ce e dumnezeiesc, iar ceea ce e
omenesc va urma foarte uor.

Monasteries of
Moldova. History and
contemporaneity

To stay in Moldova and not to visit one of its
monasteries would mean not to admire marvelous
architecture, originality, Orthodox culture, unique
natural landscapes, old icons, relics of Saints and
many other attractions. The modern touristic routes
run across the most prominent and renowned
cloisters. All in all, 55 Orthodox sacred cloisters are
opened in Moldova as of yet: 22 monasteries and 6
cloisters for monks, 24 monasteries and 2 cloisters
for nuns, and 1 monastery for Old-Believers.

The first monasteries appeared in Moldova
already in remote XIV century. One of the oldest is
Noul Neamt monastery founded in 1392. According
to historic records, Varzaresti (1420) and Capriana
(1429) could also be referred to the oldest cloisters
in Moldova. Although, scientists make further
discoveries, encounter new documents proving even
earlier appearance of monastic customs in Moldova.

Those remote times monasteries as spiritual
centres were donated lands, got considerable
funds for development and construction of
temples. At first, churches were made of wood,
while cells were wicker. Appearance of almost any
monastery is described by an interesting legend.
It is problematic to figure out whether it is true or
imaginary, though. Thus, according to the legend
Condrita monastery (Chisinau municipality) was
founded by the Hiaduks ataman Condrea. Once
Condrea felt pity for his deeds and met an old monk
who advised him to plant a tree and to construct a
monastery. One more legend is linked to the cloister
in Bursuc village of Nisporeni district (Hincu). It
was founded by Moldovan boyar Mihail Hincu. As
the legend reads, he together with his daughter
found shelter in the place being persecuted by the
Tatars. They made a wish: should they survive, a
monastery would be constructed right in the place.
The daughter of Mihail Hincu took her monastic
vows and was given the religious name Parascheva.
She was the first to settle in the skete. In order to
maintain the convent, Mihail Hincu cherished his
patrimony Sacareni1.040 desyatinas of land
covered by forest suitable for construction. Today
Hincu convent is the pearl of the Moldovan sacred
cloisters.

The monastic life in this place was not
easy and the monasteries were suffering much
from arrays of enemies. The cloisters were burnt
down to earth and destroyed therefore people
started constructing monasteries from stone and
surrounding them with thick stone walls with gun
slots. Such walls have been preserved in Curchi
monastery (Orhei district), Capriana (Straseni
district) and others.

The monastic complex included winter and
summer churches, a chapel, a house of Father
Superior, a belfry, cells, refectory and kitchen.
10 Drumul mnstirilor
MONASTERIES OF MOLDOVA MNSTIRILE DIN MOLDOVA
Frescoes in the monasteries were created by local

craftsmen or by foreign painters invited from
around the world.

The Moldovan cloisters always played the
role of spiritual centres. In monasteries they copied
books by writingprinting houses appeared later,
they collected huge libraries, they founded schools
for children of peasants and theological seminaries.

Every cloister was a closed economy and
ran its own household: gardens, fields, orchards,
beehives, cattle and poultry breeding farms.
Sometimes the monasteries turned into a picture of
gardening and park-laying art. This is how Harjauca
monastery (Calaras district) was described in The
Almanac of Bessarabia in 1903: The monastery is
situated by the foot of a mount. An orchard is laid
onto the cleaned slopes of the mount till the very
top crowned with a vineyard. Inside the garden
there are fountains, pavilions and summer houses,
from which there stretches clean paths leading to
cascaded pools.

With establishment of the soviet authority in
the country, the monasteries survived oppression
and closure lasting from the end of 1940s till the
beginning of 1960s. The liberated premises of
the cloisters were used to place hospitals, health
resorts, child asylums, deposits and the like. The
monks endeavored to save the most holy icons, hid
the most sacred items, while some of them held
divine service in secret at home. When Suruceni
monastery (Ialoveni district) was closed, one of
the monks hid an icon at his home. And when the

cloister was rehabilitated to the turn to 1990s, he
being rather old returned the holy object to its
place. Immediately after this deed he passed away
with the feeling of his mission being accomplished.

Upon heralding independence by the Republic
of Moldova, the monasteries of the county have
been rehabilitated and revived. New cloisters have
also been constructed. Although, whether they are
really new is hard to tell because by the end of XVIII
century the country saw about 40 monasteries,
while to the turn to XX there were just 20.

Many cloisters have been practically restored
as Curchi (Orhei district), Capriana (Straseni district),
Hincu (Bursuc settlement, Nisporeni district) and
others. Some monasteries are in the process of
renovation, yet the monastic life is in full swing and
visitors have much to sightsee.

The Moldovan monasteries are open for
visitors, pilgrims and tourists. The monks are
going to narrate the history of their cloisters, will
show the scared items and offer plain monastic
food: honey from monastic beehive, bread baked
in monastic bakery and of course unsurpassable
monastic wine. In Harjauca monastery one may first
visit the vaults and taste red wine and then buy this
beverage already in bottles at the monastic store.

A trip across the monasteries of Moldova stands
for acquaintance with the nation of this country, its
religion, history, culture and soul. Therefore your
trip to the cloister will be unforgettable!

Mnstirile din
Moldova. Istorie i
contemporaneitate
A cltori n Moldova fr a vizita cel puin o
mnstire ar nsemna s ratezi ocazia de a admira
arhitectura fascinant, originalitatea, cultura
ortodox, nite peisaje naturale de unicat, icoanele
vechi i moatele sfinilor, precum i multe alte
atracii. n prezent, rutele turistice integreaz toate
locaurile mai mari i mai renumite. n total, n
Moldova, exist 55 de aezminte de cult, inclusiv
22 de mnstiri i 6 schituri de clugri, 24 de
mnstiri i 2 schituri de maici, dar i o mnstire
de rit vechi.

Primele mnstiri sunt ridicate n Moldova
nc n sec. XIV printre cele mai veci numrnduse mnstirea Noul Neam ntemeiat la 1392. n
opinia istoricilor, la cele mai vechi se refer la fel
i mnstirile Vrzreti (1420), Cpriana (1429). De
fapt, cercettorii fac periodic noi descoperiri deseori
gsind documente care confirm c unele dintre
aceste locauri ar fi fost fondate i mai devreme.

n acele timpuri ndeprtate, mnstirilor le
erau donate pmnturi, sume importante pentru
dezvoltarea lcaurilor sau pentru ctitoria acestora.
Iniial, bisericile erau ridicate din lemn, iar chiliile
fcute din nuiele. Aproape toate mnstirile
au propria legend curioas despre apariia
aezmntului, dar n aceste relatri este mult
prea complicat s deosebeti adevrul de ficiune.
Astfel, dac e s credem legendei, mnstirea din
satul Condria (mun. Chiinu) ar fi fost ntemeiat
de Condrea, cpetenia haiducilor. ntr-un moment,
Condrea a nceput s fie mcinat de remucri.
Odat, haiducul a ntlnit un btrn care i-a spus s
sdeasc un copac dup care s ridice o mnstire.
Are o poveste i locaul din satul Bursuc din raionul
Nisporeni, cunoscut mai mult ca mnstirea Hncu.
Locaul ar fi fost ntemeiat de boierul moldovean,
stolnicul Mihalcea Hncu. ncercnd s se salveze de
ttari boierul mpreun cu fiica sa au ajuns n aceste
locuri jurnd c dac supravieuiesc vor construi
aici o mnstire. Boierul i-a inut promisiunea.
Fiica stolnicului s-a clugrit lundu-i numele de
Parascheva i a venit s locuiasc n schitul ctitorit
de acesta. Hncu chiar a druit pentru necesitile
schitului moia sa de la Secreni 1,040 desetine
de pmnt acoperit cu pduri care puteau asigura
lemn pentru construcie. n prezent, mnstirea
Hncu este considerat o adevrat bijuterie printre
locaurile sfinte din Moldova.

Viaa clugrilor i maicilor era deloc uoar, or
nvlirile dumanilor nu mai conteneau. Locaurile
erau arse i distruse, astfel c acestea au nceput
s fie zidite din piatr fiind deseori mprejmuite i
de ziduri nalte cu ambrazuri. Astfel de ziduri s-au
pstrat pn n zilele noastre la mnstirea Curchi
(raionul Orhei), Cpriana (raionul Streni) etc.

Ograda mnstirii cuprindea bisericile, cea
de iarn i de var, paraclisul, streia, clopotnia,
chiliile, trapeza i cuhnia. Pentru a zugrvi pereii

interiori ai mnstirilor erau invitai pictori din ar,
dar i din alte pri.

n Moldova, sfintele locauri dintotdeauna au
fost centre de educaie i iluminare. n mnstiri
erau copiate cri, iar mai apoi au fost deschise i
tipografii. Prin strduinele clugrilor aici erau
adunate biblioteci mari, erau ntemeiate coli
pentru copii ranilor, dar i seminare teologice.

Fiecare loca dispunea de o gospodrie imens:
livezi, cmpii, grdini, prisci, grajduri de animale
i ocoale de psri. Uneori, mnstirile prezentau
adevrate modele de amenajare a spaiilor verzi.
n 1903, Almanahul Basarabeanului descria
mnstirea din satul Hrjauca (raionul Clrai)
n felul urmtor: Stnca la talpa creia se afl
teritoriile mnstirii a fost curat i lucrat aici
fiind sdit o livad de pomi fructiferi care ajunge
pn la vrful stncii unde se ntind podgoriile.
Livada este mpnzit de numeroase havuzuri,
pavilioane i foioare de la care spre heleteiele ce
atrn unul peste altul pornesc crrue ngrijite.

Dup instaurarea Puterii Sovietice, mnstirile
ncep s fie nchise. Perioada de restrite pentru
aezmintele de cult a fost de la sfritul anilor 40
pn la nceputul anilor 60. n edificiile fostelor
locauri au fost amenajate spitale, sanatorii, case de
copii, depozite etc. Plecnd din mnstiri clugrii
i maicile luau cu ei i icoanele pe care le ascundeau
cu mult grij. Unii slujitori de cult oficiau servicii
divine chiar acas, n tain. Cnd a fost nchis
mnstirea de la Suruceni (raionul Ialoveni) unul
dintre monahi a ascuns acas o icoan. Dup
redeschiderea locaului, pe la nceputul anilor 90,
clugrul care deja era foarte btrn, a redat relicva

mnstirii. n scurt timp, monahul s-a stins din
via de parc-i ndeplinise misiunea ce-i fusese
ncredinat.

Odat cu proclamarea independenei, n
Republica Moldova ncepe perioada de renatere
i pentru mnstiri, iar peste ani au nceput s fie
ridicate i alte aezminte de cult. De fapt, este
greu de apreciat pe ct de noi sunt locaurile zidite
n prezent, or dac la sfritul sec. XVIII pe teritoriul
rii erau cca de 40 mnstiri, atunci ctre nceputul
sec. XX au rmas doar 20.

La multe dintre mnstiri lucrrile de
reconstrucie i renovare au i fost finalizate:
Curchi (raionul Orhei), Cpriana (raionul Streni),
Hncu (satul Bursuc, raionul Nisporeni) etc. Altele,
dei lucrrile de reamenajare mai dureaz, oricum
prezint interes, locaurile activeaz, astfel c
turitii vor gsi aici multe atracii.

Mnstirile ateapt i simplii vizitatori, i
pelerinii, i turitii. Clugrii i maicile relateaz
celor sosii despre istoria locaului, le demonstreaz
relicvele sfinte i le servesc cu bucate simple de
la masa monahilor: miere adunat de la prisaca
proprie, pine coapt la brutria proprie, dar i vin
mnstiresc de unicat. Spre exemplu, la mnstirea
Hrjauca vizitatorii au ocazia mai nti s coboare
n beci i s guste din vinul rou, iar mai apoi, s
cumpere de la gheret acelai vin turnat deja n
sticle.

Vizitnd mnstirile din Moldova vei afla
multe lucruri curioase despre poporul acesteia,
religia, istoria i sufletul lui, astfel c excursia la
sfntul loca va fi una de neuitat!

Easter in Moldova
Patele n Moldova

Easter in Moldova
The celebration of Easter begins with the liturgy in

church. It is very merry and jolly and even light
service. It differs from many other common divine
services. It begins in the middle of the night in every
church of Moldova. A little hint: you have to come
earlier or you will stay outside because at this very
night all the churches are overcrowded. You may
also go to a beautiful monastery in Moldova. Tourist
companies offer one-day trip to the holy places of the
country.

Every year the Gracious Fire is brought from
Jerusalem to Moldova in the Holy Night. The authority
of the country, priests and common people wait for the
fire in the central cathedral in Chisinau. The candles are
lit from this very fire brought from Jerusalem. Then the
candles as the symbols of faith and blessing go to many
other churches, monasteries, and houses of Moldova.

The priest consecrates the brought dishes after
the end of the liturgy. According to the tradition the
basket must be full of paskha, Easter cake or kozonak,
eggs dyed red, babele(babkysweet pudding
made of noodles or macaroni), sugar and salt.

Coming out believers exchange a triple kiss and
greet each other with the words Christ is risen!
Truly He is risen! The whole week every volunteer has
the right to ring church bells.

The Easter feast starts upon coming back home.
It is necessary to add, that ceremonial dishes paskha
and Easter cakes are baked beforehand on Thursday of
Holy Week. The same time eggs are dyed. Housewives
usually cook a lot of food because it is a custom to share
Easter food to everybody.

Except ceremonial muffins and eggs the baked
lamb is prepared for the holiday table. Rolls made of
veal, baked rabbit, ham, goose or turkey are important.
It is necessary to emphasize that the fasting is over and
the Holy Celebration has come into each house!

The Easter celebration continues for forty days. It
is due to the Bible where Christ revealed himself to his
disciples after the Holy Sunday. On the 40th day Jesus
Christ ascended into heaven. Usually people visit each
other all the week after the Holy Sunday. The only thing
the priests warn against is that the celebration of Eater
should not turn into the sin of gluttony and of course it
should not be turned into drunkenness.

The Museum of Nature and Ethnography
traditionally organizes the Easter exhibition, the main
event of which is the competitions of artists painting
EASTER PATELE
eggs. The famous wizards of Moldova, Ukraine and

Romania come here to show their talents. You can get a
grade as a master by taking part in this competition.

Religious variety
of Moldova

The Law on Religious Cults adopted in Moldova
guarantees freedom of conscience and freedom of
religion and entitles various cults to equality. The
Moldovan nation reveres the traditions based on respect
and tolerance of people of various religions. Therefore,
our country sees no conflicts on religious grounds. On
the contrary, being interested about the history of this
country, the history of its nations, people of various
religious beliefs pay visits to Orthodox, Catholic and
Judaic churches. Modern touristic routes are organized
in a way so that the acquaintance with the country is not
confined by trips of Orthodox cloisters. The country sees
Catholic churches and synagogues attractive from the
standpoint of architecture, history and religion.

According to various data, 93-96 per cent of
the countrys citizens are Orthodox Christians. The
Orthodox Christianity has always been the leading
religion in Moldova. When the land suffered from the
yoke of the Ottoman State, mosques were constructed
in the Moldovan Principality. It is known that nice
Muslim temples were erected in Old Orhei and Causani.
Unfortunately, none of them have survived. At present,
there is no mosque in the republic obviously due to the
little number of people that adhere to the Islam.

According to the data of the recent census, 1.5 per
cent of the residents of Moldova profess the Judaism.
Synagogues have been opened in many cities of the
republic, for instance, in Chisinau, Orhei, Balti, Edineti
and others. To the turn to century only in Chisinau
there functioned more than 70 synagogues, many of
which were opened in usual residential houses, while
some occupied detached buildings. Proper synagogues
were built by the associations of glass-cutters, butters,
traders in wood, shop assistants, coffin-makers,
pharmacists etc. At present, one synagogue functions in
the Moldovan capital at the address: 8 Habad Liubavici
Street, Chisinau. It was constructed by the association
of glass-cutters already in 1880 and was the only one in
the republic to remain open in the soviet times, when
religion was oppressed. The largest and magnificent
building to the turn to century was the choral
synagogue (1913). At present the building has been
much reconstructed and hosts the Russian Drama
Theatre A. Chekhov. Some preserved buildings of
synagogues have been included into touristic routes
across the places of Jewish heritage of Chisinau. For
instance, the synagogue at the crossing of Tighina and
Sciusev Streets constructed in 1886; at present the
building hosts a Jewish educational establishment.
The wooden synagogue at Diorita Street has been
reconstructed to host the Centre of Jewish Culture,
Cult and Charity. In this synagogue they carried out the
funerals of Torah after the pogrom of 1903. At present
the Museum of History of the Jewish of Moldova is
located inside the premises.

Of significance and interest for guests of the
republic will be the huge Jewish cult establishment in
RELIGIONS OF MOLDOVA CONFESIUNILE N MOLDOVA
Rascov settlement, Camenca district, Transnistria. The

building has not been restored, only the thick walls have
survived, and yet even the ruins provide the impression
as to how magnificent the building was just one century
back.

Apropos, in Rascov settlement in the
neighbourhood of the synagogue there stay the
Orthodox and a Roman-Catholic churches, which is
rather symbolic. In Ribnita town (Transnistria) the
Orthodox and Roman-Catholic churches are separated
by a mere hedge. This is one more proof of peaceful coexistence and religious tolerance in Moldova.

The Roman Catholicism was introduced in
Moldova by the Polish settlers. While the start for the
Polish-Moldova relations was given in 1387 by the
Moldovan Gospodar Pentru Musat, who gave his vassal
vow to the Polish King Jagiello. And later on, the Poles
who used to settle in Russia gradually moved towards
the lands surrounding its boundaries. Several Polish
colonies were formed in our lands. Apropos, the Poles
have been living here till nowadays. These are the
settlements in the North of Moldova: Starcea (Glodeni
district), Duruitoarea Noua (Rascani district), Hartop
(Falesti district), Rascov and Slobozia-Rascov (Camenca
district), Grigoreuca, Petropavlovca (Sanjerei district).
The Poles reside also in various towns of the republic
as Chisinau, Balti, Tihina, Orhei, Ribnita. According to
approximate data, about 30,000 of the Poles and their
families reside at present in Moldova, inclusive more
than 3,000 in the capital.

Upon increased number of parishioners, the
Catholics started constructing beautiful temples,
some of which have survived till nowadays. Thus, a
magnificent Roman-Catholic church was erected in
Chisinau in 1840-1843. The funds for construction
equalling to 20,000 Rubbles were allotted by the
Russian Emperor Nikolai I. The project was elaborated by
architect Zaushkevich, while the works were supervised
by Ilya Novikov. The Roman-Catholic church in Chisinau
(the episcopacy is situated at the same address) is
located at the address 85 Metropolitan Dosoftei Street.

After the World War II the Catholics residing in the
republic shared the hard destiny of all people of faith in
the USSR. From eight parishes, there remained only one
in Chisinau. All Catholic churches survived closure by
the middle of 60s, some of them were ruined (Ribnita,
Cretoaia). In Chisinau the building of the church was
used as a record studio, in Tihinaas a sport hall,
in Sorocaas a school etc. In 1967, according to the
soviet statistic data, the chapel in the Catholic cemetery
in Chisinau was visited by 400-500 people of faith, while
the total number of the Catholics residing in the republic
was more than 2,000.

The religion prohibition was relaxed in the 1990s,
so the Catholic churches were also rehabilitated and
restored. At present, already several Catholic churches
are opened in the republic. Those people, who are
interested in history, should pay visits to the magnificent
Catholic churches in Rascov settlement (Camenca
district) and Ribnita. And of course, the Roman-Catholic
Church in Chisinau is also worth while visiting.

Sightseeing tours across the sacred places of
Moldova run through two settlements of the Old
BelieversCunicea (Floresti district) and Pocrovca
(Dondiuseni district). The Old Believers appeared in
these places after the reforms of Patriarch Nikon in
XVII century. They rescued from persecutions for their
adherence to old rules of the Orthodox Christianity
having rejected all the innovations introduced by Nikon.

Here they found the God-given land and got settled.

A convent of the Old Believers functions in Cunicea
settlement, which is rather secluded from tourists, yet
open for pilgrims. One may admire the cloister only from
the outside. Yet, even in such case, a visit to Cunicea will
be no less charming. There is an old church furnished
in wood, the divine services in which are carried out in
accordance with old rites. People in Cunicea make the
cross sign with two fingers. Many men wear beards,
some have waist-long beards; they wear shirts outside
trousers and belt them with a lace. Practically all yards
are equipped with a bath house, some of which are
stoked up black-wise (when all smoke goes inside
premises). The Old Believers are rather industrious and
hospitable: should you ask them about the history of the
Old Belief in Moldova (every resident is an expert in the
realm), you will be shared information with pleasure, in
plus, you will be invited on a visit, you will be treated
with the national Russian dishes and will be offered to
take a steam bath.

Pocrovca settlementanother centre of the Old
Belief in Moldovais renowned due to its raspberries.
During the season, a lot of wholesalers come to this
place to purchase the crop. The bushes of raspberry are
commonplace and abundant in every yard and around
the village. In total, the residents of Pocrovca cultivate
about 800 tones of the crop per season. By the entrance
to the village on the side of Chisinau there is a recreation
complex Pocrovca Estate. The complex meets its
guests by a well designed in form of a huge samovar.
The complex encompasses a hotel, House of Jam (a
restaurant with raspberry jam and tea as a firm dish),
a food store etc. Of course, raspberry grows inside the
estate so visitors are able to gather as much as they
like. Guests of Pocrovca Estate will be surely offered
various sightseeing tours that include acquaintance
with the customs of the Old Belief in Moldova.

Acquaintance with Catholic churches, settlements
of the Old Believers and synagogues stands for the
acquaintance with the history of Moldova, where the
destinies of many nations with various religions and
cultural background have been interlinked to co-exist.
At present, such interlacement appears so congruent
and intact that it may become an original sample for
imitation and the grounds for scrutiny by all other
nations and peoples.

Diversitatea confesional
a Moldovei

Legea privind cultele religioase garanteaz
libertatea de contiin i de religie, ofer drepturi
egale cultelor n Republica Moldova. Poporul
moldovenesc cinstete cu sfinenie tradiiile prin
care i-a fost educat respectul fa de persoanele
de diferite confesii, iat de ce la noi n ar nu se
atest conflicte religioase. Dimpotriv, n tendina
de a se familiariza cu istoria i cultura persoanele de
diferit religie merg i la locaurile ortodoxe, i la
cele catolice, i la cele iudaice. Actualmente traseele
turistice sunt elaborate n aa fel, nct turitii
venii n Moldova s nu viziteze doar aezmintele
cretin-ortodoxe, ci i cele aparinnd altor
confesiuni. n ar exist locauri de cult catolic i
sinagogi ce prezint valoare arhitectural, istoric
i religioas.

Conform diferitor surse, ntre 93 i 96 la sut
din populaia rii o constituie cretinii ortodoci.
Religia principal n Moldova ntotdeauna a fost cea
ortodox. Pe timpurile cnd meleagul nostru s-a
aflat sub jugul Porii Otomane n ara Moldovei erau
ridicate moschei. Se cunoate c locauri musulmane
splendide au existat la Orheiul Vechi i Cueni ns,
din pcate, ele nu s-au pstrat. n prezent, n Moldova
nu exist nicio moschee. Acest lucru ar putea fi
explicat, probabil, prin faptul c, la noi, comunitatea
musulmanilor este prea puin numeroas.

Potrivit datelor ultimului recensmnt al
populaiei, 1,5 la sut dintre locuitorii Moldovei
profeseaz iudaismul. n mai multe orae
funcioneaz sinagogi, spre exemplu, la Chiinu,
Orhei, Bli, Edine etc. La nceputul sec. , doar n
capital existau peste 70 de sinagogi. Multe dintre
aceste locauri erau amenajate n cldirile caselor
de locuit, iar altele erau situate n edificii separate.
Geamgiii, mcelarii, comercianii de material lemnos,
sicrierii, farmacitii i reprezentanii altor bresle
aveau propriile sinagogi. Actualmente, n capitala RM
activeaz o singur sinagog (str. Habad Liubavici
8). Construit nc n 1880 ca i sinagog a geamgiilor
acest aezmnt de cult este unica sinagog din
Moldova care n-a fost nchis nici n perioada
sovietic cnd locaurile sfinte erau interzise. La
nceputul sec. XX, Sinagoga Coral (1913) reprezenta
cel mai mare i frumos edificiu. n prezent, dup o
recondiionare esenial, acesta gzduiete Teatrul
Dramatic Rus de Stat A. Cehov. O parte dintre
cldirile sinagogilor care s-au mai pstrat au fost
integrate n rutele turistice n cadrul crora turitii
au ocazia s viziteze obiectivele din Chiinu care
au o semnificaie deosebit pentru evrei. Spre
exemplu, actualmente n sinagoga numit pe timpuri
Fnria (este situat la intersecia strzilor Tighina
i A. ciusev i a fost construit n 1886 lng piaa
de fn i vite) funcioneaz o instituie evreiasc de
nvmnt. A fost reconstruit i sinagoga numit
cndva Lemnria (str. Diordi). Acum n cldirea
acesteia i are sediul Centrul evreiesc de cultur,

religie i caritate. Dup pogromurile care au avut loc
la Chiinu n 1903, n aceast sinagog a demarat
aa numita nmormntare a Torei. n prezent n
edificiu activeaz Muzeul de istorie a evreilor din
Moldova.

Un interes deosebit pentru oaspeii care
ne viziteaz meleagurile reprezint i fastuosul
aezmnt de cult din satul Racov (raionul Camenca,
Transnistria). Edificiul acestuia n-a fost restaurat. Dei
din cldire n-au rmas dect pereii acetia oricum
ofer o viziune despre monumentalitatea locaului
construit acum mai bine de un secol.

Apropo, la Racov, chiar n preajma sinagogii
sunt situate un loca ortodox i altul catolic, ceea
ce, evident, are o semnificaie simbolic. n oraul
Rbnia din regiunea transnistrean biserica
ortodox i crea catolic sunt separate doar de un
gard, fapt care la fel vine s confirme coexistena
panic a diferitor religii n Moldova.

Catolicismul a fost adus n Moldova prin
filiera colonitilor polonezi. De notat c relaiile
moldo-poloneze au fost stabilite la 1387 de ctre
domnitorul Petru Muat care a jurat credin de
vasalitate regelui polon Yagello. Ulterior, polonezii
care iniial se stabileau n Rusia au nceput treptat
s se aeze cu traiul n teritoriile mai apropiate de
hotarele Poloniei. n Moldova au fost ntemeiate
cteva localiti populate de coloniti polonezi. De
altfel, urmaii acestora mai continu s locuiasc
acolo. La nordul rii exist cteva sate de polonezi
Strcea (raionul Glodeni), Duruitoarea Nou (raionul
Rcani), Hrtop (raionul Fleti), Racov i SloboziaRacov (raionul Camenca), Grigoreuca, Petropavlovca
(raionul Sngerei). Comuniti de polonezi exist i
n unele centre urbane Chiinu, Bli, Tighina,
Orhei, Rbnia.
Potrivit unor date estimative,
actualmente n Moldova locuiesc cca 30 mii de
polonezi i membri ai familiilor acestora, dintre care
peste 3000 n capital.

Datorit fluxului sporit de enoriai catolicii ncep
s zideasc locauri impresionante. Unele dintre
acestea s-au pstrat i pn n prezent. Astfel, n anii
1840-1843, la Chiinu a fost edificat o catedral
monumental. Pentru construcia locaului a
donat 20 mii de ruble nsui mpratul Nikolai I al
Rusiei. Proiectul a fost elaborat de ctre arhitectul
L. Zaukevici, iar de mersul lucrrilor se ngrijea Ilia
Novikov. Catedrala catolic (la aceeai adres se afl
i Episcopia de Chiinu) din capital este situat n
str. Mitropolit Dosoftei 85.

Dup ncheierea celui de-al II Rzboi Mondial,
catolicii din Moldova au avut parte de aceeai soart
vitreg ca i toi credincioii din URSS. Dintre cele
8 locauri de cult catolic a rmas deschis doar cel
din Chiinu. Ctre mijlocul anilor 60 ai sec. XX,
majoritatea bisericilor catolice au fost nchise, unele
fiind distruse chiar (Rbnia, Creoaia). La Chiinu,
n edificiul locaului catolic a fost amenajat un studio
de nregistrri, la Tighina funciona o sal sportiv,
iar la Soroca cldirea similar a fost recondiionat
gzduind o coal. Potrivit unor documente din
perioada sovietic, n 1967, capela de la cimitirul
catolic din capital era frecventat de 400-500 de
credincioi, iar per total n Moldova locuiau pe atunci
peste 2.000 de catolici.

Prin anii 90 ai sec. XX, odat cu renaterea
i restabilirea locaurilor sfinte, ncepe renovarea
bisericilor catolice i construcia altor noi. n prezent,
n ar funcioneaz deja cteva astfel de aezminte.

Celor interesai de istorie le sugerm s viziteze
neaprat locaurile de cult catolic din satul Racov
(raionul Camenca) i din oraul Rbnia nite
biserici de o frumusee rar, s mearg i la splendida
catedral catolic din Chiinu.

Rutele de turism religios includ i cele dou
sate populate de cretini de rit vechi Cunicea
(raionul Floreti) i Pocrovca (raionul Dondueni).
Aici cretinii de rit vechi s-au stabilit dup reforma lui
Nikon din sec. XVII. Persecutai i prigonii din cauza
c n-au dorit s renune la credina lor i s accepte
modificrile ei au fost nevoii s-i prseasc locurile
natale i s ia drumul pribegiei. Pe aceste meleaguri
cretinii au gsit pmnturi binecuvntate i au decis
s slluiasc aici.

n satul Cunicea se afl o mnstire maici,
la fel de rit vechi. Locaul este deschis n special
pentru pelerini. Vizitatorii pot admira mnstirea
mai mult din exterior fr a avea acces pe teritoriu.
Oricum, acest fapt nu reduce ns din farmecul
eventualei excursii la Cunicea. Spre exemplu, turitii
au ocazia de a vizita biserica veche cptuit cu lemn
unde serviciile divine sunt oficiate potrivit vechilor
canoane. Cretinii din acest sat i fac semnul Crucii
cu dou degete. Majoritate brbailor poart barb
(unora chiar ajungndu-le pn la bru). La fel, ei
mbrac nite cmi lungi purtate peste pantaloni
i se ncing cu un iret. Practic n fiecare ograd
este construit o baie ruseasc, n unele dintre ele
focul se face ntr-un mod special ca fumul s nu
ias afar, ci n ncperea bii. Cretinii de rit vechi
sunt extrem harnici i ospitalieri. Ei sunt foarte
receptivi cnd turitii i roag s le vorbeasc despre
istoria cultului cretin de rit vechi din Moldova (aici
fiecare stean o cunoate bine) i povestesc cu mare
plcere. Mai mult, locuitorii din Cunicea nu vor ezita
s invite musafirii n cas, unde i servesc cu bucate
tradiionale ruse i chiar invitndu-i s se relaxeze
ntr-o veritabil baie ruseasc cu aburi.

Satul Pocrovca reprezint un alt centru al
cultului cretin de rit vechi din Moldova. Faima
localitii este asigurat de zmeura cultivat pe
aici din belug. n perioada de recoltare a acestei
pomuoare, n sat vin numeroi cumprtori en
gros. n fiecare gospodrie, n jurul satului se ntind
rnduri drepte cu tufe de zmeur. Pe parcursul unui
sezon, locuitorii din Pocrovca cresc cca 800 tone de
zmeur. La intrarea n sat, dinspre Chiinu, se afl
baza de odihn Pokrovskaia usadiba (Conacul din
Pocrovca). Chiar lng poart este un izvor amenajat
n form de samovar enorm (vas de metal folosit la
fiertul apei pentru ceai; din rus. samovar.). Complexul
include un hotel, restaurantul Dom varenia (Casa
dulceii) unde vizitatorii sunt servii cu dulcea de
zmeur, ceai, dar i diverse bucate, un magazin agricol
etc. Pe teritoriul complexului, evident, crete zmeur
i fiecare oaspete se poate implica n culesul acesteia.
Printre ofertele complexului Pokrovskaia usadiba
se numr i diverse excursii, inclusiv de familiarizare
cu istoria cultului cretin de rit vechi n Moldova.

Vizitarea locaurilor catolice, satelor unde
locuiesc cretinii de rit vechi, a sinagogilor nseamn,
de fapt, familiarizarea cu istoria Moldovei n care s-au
integrat destinele mai multe etnii, diferite ca religie
i cultur. ns n prezent aceast integrare este att
de armonioas i organic nct la fel poate servi ca i
exemplu demn de urmat i subiect de studiu pentru
reprezentanii altor ri i popoare.

The Ciuflea Convent functions since the year 2002 to

rank among the youngest spiritual centres in Moldova,
although people have been worshiping the All-Mighty
in this place for more than 150 years. Brothers Feodor
and Anastasios Ciuflea made once their mind to erect
a white stone church with 9 domes. Feodor Ciuflea
passed away aging 58 years before construction of
the church was completed. His brother took over the
works. The church was consecrated in honour of Great
Martyr Theodore of Amasea (Tirone). The first Superior
of the church was archpriest Ioan Butuc.

In the year 1870 Anastasios Ciuflea deceased
aging 69 years old. He deserved great respect by the
town residents and the church immediately got its
popular name Ciuflea. When in the epoch of soviet
government religion was oppressed and all churches
were closed, the Central Cathedral (located in the
Central Cathedral Park) was turned into an exhibition
hall. To replenish the loss, the Church St. Gr. Mr.
Theodore Tirone became the principal temple of the
country in 1962.

In 1970s, the Church St. Gr. Mr. Theodore Tirone
saw an overhaul lasting for more than 18 years. The
restoration of unique frescoes executed in Vasnetsovs
style was supervised by master Burbela. The southern
apse Intercession of the Theotokos was constructed
during the reparation.

People come here to worship the unique miracleworking icons of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and
Ever-Virgin Mary of Harbovet and Kazan, the relics of
Great Martyr and Healer Pantaleon, Saint Seraphim of
Sarov, Antipa of Athos, Job and Amfilohiy of Pochayiv
and many others. In the year 2000 the believers from
Serbia presented a particle of the relics of Great Martyr
Theodore of Amasea (Tirone) that reside now in the
convent in the silver reliquary.

The Ciuflea Church was bestowed with the
status of convent in the year 2002.

The encyclopaedia Literature and Art of Moldova

(edition of the year 1985) provides a reference
that Capriana Monastery was founded during the
reign of Alexandru cel Bun (1399-1432), and got
reconstructed by Stefan cel Mare (years of reign 14571504) prior to the year 1470 that is usually considered
its foundation. In the monastery they tell that the
cloister was supervised by Alexandru cel Bun and
Stefan cel Mare since 1420s.

It is also known that in 1545 another ruler of
the Moldovan Principality Pentru Rares constructed
a church Dormition of the Theotokos in Capriana
Monastery. Apropos, the church has survived till
nowadays. While the central representative church
St. George was constructed in 1840 by Father
Superior Hilarion. The two-storey stone house
constructed in 1826 has also been preserved. Today
the restored cloister appears in all its glory.

In the year 1698, Moldovan Ruler Antioh
Cantemir II ruled to cede the cloister into the
ownership of the Zograf Monastery at Athos (Greece).
Since the year 1813 Capriana was supervised by the
Board of Archpriests of Chisinau. In 1857 the cloister
was again ceded to the Zograf Monastery. Quite
for long the monastery hosted the residence of
Metropolitan. Therefore, the most holy relic is located
in the place: the burial place of Metropolitan Gabriel
Bonulescu-Bodoni, who passed away in March 1821.

On October 25th 1962 the monastery saw the
last holy service, and already the next day the cloister
was abolished. A child hospital was established at
the Orthodox monastery. In the year 1989 Capriana
Monastery opened again its doors for people of faith.

The monastery was established in the years 1773-1775

by Boyar Iordache Curchi from Marazini settlement
onto the lands that once belonged to his grandfather.
At first, the principle temple of the cloister was a
wooden church. Yet, to the turn to XIX century a
marvelous temple was erected that remained for long
span the highest temple in Moldova (32 metres). There
are suppositions that the temple was constructed by
the project of the great architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
In the year 1811 a seminary was opened by the
monastery, a printing house was founded and a vast
library was formed. The year 1844 saw construction
of the winter church. All these erections have survived
all the calamities till nowadays. While in the year
1938 the construction works of St. Nicolas Church
were started that were completed just several years
back. Curchi Monastery was one of the largest and the
richest: the cloister owned 2,000 ha of land, 7 lakes
(only 3 have been preserved), forests, vineyards, while
the refectory provided places for 1,000 of persons.

In the year 1958 the monastery survived
oppression and closure. A hospital for mentally insane
was established in its premises. And only to the turn to
2000s the patients of the hospital were transferred to
another medical institution. The monks, who resided
in a neighbouring premises, immediately took over
construction and restoration of the monastery. The
Government of the Republic of Moldova and private
companies provided sufficient funds for rehabilitation.
Today Curchi Monastery appears before its visitors and
pilgrims in all its glory.

La 1678, lng ruleul Coglnic apare un schit.

Acesta a fost ctitorit de boierul moldovean,
stolnicul Mihalcea Hncu. Legenda spune c
ncercnd s se salveze de ttari boierul mpreun
cu fiica sa au ajuns n aceste locuri i au jurat c
dac supravieuiesc vor construi aici o mnstire.
Fiica stolnicului s-a clugrit lundu-i numele de
Parascheva i a venit s locuiasc n schitul ridicat.
Hncu a druit pentru necesitile schitului moia
sa de la Secreni 1,040 desetine de pmnt
acoperit cu pduri care puteau asigura lemn pentru
construcie.

Almanahul Basarabeanului scrie n 1906:
n a doua jumtate a sec. XV, din cauza ttarilor,
clugriele din schit au fost nevoite s plece n
locuri mai sigure. Schitul prsit se distrugea. La
rugmintea familiei Hncu, ieromonahul Varlaam
de la mnstirea Vrzreti a venit s ocupe schitul
i s se ngrijeasc de el. Acesta a reparat biserica
din nuiele i chiliile, a ridicat n jur un gard de
nuiele i a adunat o mic obte pentru a sllui
acolo. Astfel locaul devine schit de clugri.

Prin anii 30 din sec. XIX, n timpul streiei
egumenului Dosoftei, schitul se transform n
mnstire. Deja la 1835, n locul bisericii de lemn
este ridicat o alta, din piatr biserica de var
cu hramul Cuvioasa Paraschiva. Biserica de iarn
(nclzit) cu hramul Adormirea Maicii Domnului
a fost zidit aici la 1841.

n perioada 1956-1990 mnstirea a fost
nchis, aici fiind amenajat casa de odihn a
Ministerului Sntii. Pe la nceputul anilor 90

A skete close to the Cogilnic River appeared in the

year 1678. It was established by a Moldovan Boyar,
Stolnik Mihail Hancu. As the legend goes, he together
with his daughter found shelter in the place being
persecuted by the Tatars. They made a wish: should
they survive, a monastery would be constructed
right in the place. The daughter of Mihail Hancu
took her monastic vows and was given the religious
name Parascheva. She was the first to settle in the
skete. In order to maintain the convent, Mihail Hancu
cherished his patrimony Sacareni1.040 desyatinas
of land covered by forest suitable for construction.

This is how the cloister is described by The
Almanac of Bessarabia in the year 1906: The novices
of the cloister being constantly troubled by the
Tatars were forced to settle in more protected lands
in the second half of XV century. The skete was
abandoned and left for dilapidation. Then, by request
of the Hancus Family (who must be the descendants
of Mihail Hancunote of author), the arch-monk
Barlaam from Varzaresti Skete took over restoration
of the ruined cloister. He repaired the church and the
cells, surrounded the cloister with wicker fence and
summoned a few monks for monastic life. Since then
the skete was inhabited by monks.

In the 30s of XIX century, under the supervision
of Father Superior Dosoftei, the skete was bestowed
with the status of a monastery. And already in the
year 1835 a wooden church was displaced by a
stone summer church consecrated in honour of St.
Parascheva. One more warm stone church Dormition
of the Theotokos was erected in 1841.

The cloister survived oppression and closure
since 1956 to 1990: the health resort of the Ministry
of Health was placed in its premises instead. While to
the turn to 1990s the cloister has started countingout of its modern history as a convent for nuns
already. At present, a marvelous temple has been
almost constructed to become one of the biggest
Orthodox monuments in Moldova.

The monastic life in Suruceni settlement started

in 1785, when the monks established a skete and
constructed a wooden summer church. In the year 1820
the wooden church was reconstructed in stone. Both,
the cloister and the church have been consecrated in
commemoration of Saint Great Martyr George. At
present, the summer church has been repaired and
restored, with the heating system installed therein.
The winter church St. Nicolas was constructed in
1860 and it more reminds a large country house.

The most ancient relics of Saints preserved in
Moldova, Russia and Ukraine reside in the summer
church: the relics belong to St. Martyrs Epiktet, Astion,
Athonital of Athos and Saint George. According to the
Nun Superior of the convent, all these relics heal. The
vaults of the summer church were once used as burial
place. By now it was possible to rehabilitate just several
tombs: of the founder and benefactor of the monastery
Suruceanu, his family and descendants. The convent
keeps two unique icons with rather interesting stories.

Until 1959, 26 Fathers Superiors alternated
in Suruceni monastery. While in the year 1959 the
monastery survived oppression and closure. Its
premises were used as a hospital for women suffering
from tuberculosis.

The cloister was rehabilitated in the year 1990
already as a convent. A theological seminary has been
established under the convent and functions since
1998. Upon graduation its alumni are bestowed with
Bachelor diplomas.

Tel.: (+373 264) 23-900.
S-a stabilit c locaul a fost ctitorit la 1420.

Iniial acesta era un schit de monahi atestat cu
denumirea de mnstirea Kino-Varzarev ntrun hrisov semnat de Alexandru cel Bun ctre
boierul Venea.

Schitul cu o istorie de aproape 600 de ani
a avut parte de numeroase ncercri. Ttarii l-au
pustiit de dou ori. Dup invaziile strine, n 1770,
locaul este restaurat de protoiereul Constantin
Mcrescu i de tatl acestuia, preotul Vlasie,
clugrit sub numele de Varlaam. Ctre anul 1815,

The year 1420 has been proven as the

establishment date of the cloister. Initially, the
skere was meant for monastic life of monks and
was referred to as Kishnov Rzarev Monastery in
the deed of Moldovan Gospodar Alexander cel Bun
addressed to Boyar Vena.

The skete has survived many events during
its almost 600-year history. It was twice plundered
by the Tatars. After the arrays of the foreigners
in 1770 it was restored by archpriest Constantin
Macaresco and his father priest Blaise (given the
monastic name Barlaam). Yet, by the year 1815
the monastery saw just one monk and the Father
Superior. Then it was decided to annex the cloister
to the Cosauti convent (Soroca district) for the nuns
to gradually revive it.

In the years 1796 and 1863 the churches
were constructed in the cloister. In the year 1835
a belfry was built near the older church. Yet, in the
soviet epoch the bells vanished. Though, in 1990s
upon restoration of the cloister the nuns ordered
209-kilo bell to the famous Moldovan sculpturerestorer Iurie Terehov, who cast it in a workshop in
Chisinau. This is the hugest bell ever created by the
master. Besides, Iurie Terehov presented one more
40-kilo bell to the convent.

A parish school and a hospital were operating
for long span under the convent. While in 1846 the
skete for nuns in Rudi was annexed to the cloister.
In 1959 the convent suffered oppressions and
closure, and was re-opened just in 1990s.

ei au expediat o solicitare cu privire construcia
Mnstirii Noul Neam pe moia Lavrei de la
Chicani, obinnd n 1864 acordul arului rus.

Construcia locaului a durat mai bine
de jumtate de secol, n schimb, n prezent,
ansamblul su arhitectural pe bun dreptate este
considerat unul dintre cele mai impuntoare din
Moldova dup dimensiuni. Catedrala nlarea

1864 de ctre un arhitect din Sankt-Petersburg,
iar iconostasul, crucile i cutiile icoanelor a fost

The lands that host Noul Neamt monastery

at present belonged in XIX century to Neamt
Lavra in Romania (founded in XIV century). The
construction of a new replica monastery was
insisted upon by the Head of Bessarabia Lavra
estates Arch-monk Theophanous and the Spiritual
leader of the Larva Arch-monk Andronicus. In the
year 1859 they dispatched a petition pertaining
to construction of Neamt monastery in the Lavras
estate Chitcani, to which they got the consent of
the Russian Tsar in the year 1864.

This cloister was being constructed for
more than half a century, yet at present its
architectural composition is deemed by right the
most outstanding and large-scaled in Moldova.
The temple Ascensio Christi and the belfry were
designed in the year 1864 by an architect from
St. Petersburg; while the icon wall, crosses and
icon cases were painted by artist Verkhovtsev.
The temple was being built within the span 18671878. In the year 1905 the winter church opened
its doors, and a bit laterthe five-storey gate
belfry (height 55.6 metres).

In 1962 the cloister was restricted and
closed. The monastery was revived only to the
turn to 1990s.

Potrivit legendei, la mijlocul sec. XVII, din schitul

moldovenesc Deleni la stnca de la Japca a venit
clugrul Iezechil nsoit de civa credincioi.
Pe vrful stncii ei au spat o peter n piatr.
La poalele stncii i n zilele noastre se afl
mnstirea Japca. Schitul din stnc s-a pstrat,
n prezent, aici este amenajat o biseric.

Primele informaii despre mnstire dateaz
din 1770, cnd n aceste locuri vine monahul
pribeag Teodosie. Descoperind schitul prsit
din stnc acesta se stabilete aici. ncetul cu
ncetul la schit vin i ali clugri astfel c acesta
devine deja nencptor. Atunci Teodosie i-a
convins pe proprietarii satului Japca s le cedeze
un lot de teren de la poalele stncii: mpreun
cu ceilali clugri ei au construit o biseric din
lemn i chilii de nuiele. n timp, schitul a nceput
s se dezvolte. Pe pmnturile rscumprate,
Teodosie, mpreun cu clugrii a ridicat o moar,
a amenajat livezi i grdini, a nceput s creasc
animale. n 1818, Teodosie a fost decorat de ctre
exarhul Gavriil, iar schitul a fost transformat n
mnstire.

Prima biseric din piatr a fost zidit aici n
1825, iar biserica de iarn este edificat n 1849.
Ambele au fost ridicate din donaiile oamenilor
bogai care au decis s-i ofere mijloacele pentru
o lucrare plcut lui Dumnezeu. Cu timpul, pe
teritoriul mnstirii apar i alte construcii.

Locaul este unic prin faptul c n
perioada sovietic, pe teritoriul Moldovei, toate
mnstirile i majoritatea bisericilor, n afar de
cea de la Japca, au fost nchise. La fel, n aceste
locuri natura este att de pitoreasc, nct pe la
sfritul sec. XIX nceputul sec. , aici veneau

The legend reads that in the middle of XVII century,

monk Iezechil together with some men of faith
arrived to the rock Japca from a Moldova skete
Delen and they carved a cave onto the very summit
of the rock, by the foot of which Japca Convent
is located at present. The rock skete has been
preserved either: it hosts a church.

The first references of the cloister appeared
in the year 1770, upon arrival of a wanderer-monk
Theodosius to the place. He founded a dilapidated
abandoned skete and settled there. Yet, little by
little the skete was inhabited by other monks and
it grew crowded. Then Theodosius agreed with
the owner of Japca settlement to allot a land plot
by the mount foot: together with the monk he
constructed a wooden church and wicker cells.
Little by little the skete was developed: onto the
lands purchased by Theodosius they constructed a
mill, laid orchards and gardens, bred cattle. In the
year 1818 Theodosius was awarded by the exarch
Gabriel, while the skete was bestowed with the
status of a monastery.

The cloister saw the first stone church built
in 1825, while the winter temple was constructed
in 1849. The funds for both sacred temples were
cherished by well-being people who desired to
spend their means for godly deeds. The monastery
saw auxiliary premises constructed.

The unique feature of the cloister is that
despite severe oppression and closure of all
monasteries and most churches by the soviet
government in Moldova, Japca has survived
untouched. In addition, the place is surrounded
by divine natural landscapes so beautiful that by
the close of XIXturn to centuries the place
was frequently visited by the most famous noble
families of Bessarabia and Russia.

Primii clugri se stabilesc n aceste locuri nc

prin sec. II-V (nu se cunoate cu exactitate). Ei
au ntemeiat un loca n stnc ridicnd alturi i

a fost supus reconstruciilor. n zilele noastre, n

Actuala mnstire a fost ntemeiat n anul
1776. Clugrul Bartolomeu Krivoruciko, poreclit
astfel pentru c era beteag la mna stng (a
fost lovit de un glonte rtcit tras de un vntor),

i n curnd n loca ncep s se adune clugri.

n 1821, pe cnd stare la aceast mnstire

lemn este zidit alta, din piatr, care s-a pstrat
pn n zilele noastre. Locaul era renumit i
pentru obiectele scumpe pstrate acolo. Astfel,

The first monks appeared in the place already in

II-V centuries (no more precise data is available).
They founded a cloister in the thick of the rocks,
with a small house annexed thereto. Later, in 1776,
1857 and 1992 this annex house was restored. At
present, the rock cloister hosts a church.

The first buildings of the monastery
were constructed in 1776. Monk Bartholomew
crooked-handed nicknamed this way due to the
handicap of his left hand accidently injured by a
hunter founded the first summer wooden church,
several cells, circled the estates with a fence. A
landlord of Saharna settlement Ivan Khristovergy
presented to the monastery 120 desyatinas of land.
Bartholomew repaired the cells and the church
of the skete in Gorodische settlement located 15
kilometres far from Saharna in the rocks of the
right shore of the Nistru River. The cloister grew
inhabited by monks.

In the year 1821 the summer wooden
church was displaced by a stone temple under the
supervision of the Father Superior Tarasios. This
church has survived till nowadays. The cloister
was renowned due to its relics either: in the year
1817 the monastery got the donation of the Don
Cossacks in honour of the terminated war with
Napoleon, and namely a huge portable cypress
cross with silver-and-golden furnishing, the shroud
of Christ decorated with golden embroidery and
precious stones, the Gospel with silver-and-golden
cover and enamel furnished with turquoise (The
Almanac of Bessarabia, 1906). All the above relics
are missing without a trace, though.

In the year 1936 the monastery was
transformed into a nunnery because the monks
opposed the swop of calendars from the Julian
into the Gregorian style. Yet, the nunnery did
not survive either: it was closed in 1964 and its
premises were used as hospital for mentally
insane. The monastery was revived just in 1991.

The skete was founded by a monk-hermit, who

used to be subsisting alone in a cave onto the mount
summit. The first wooden church by the mount foot
was constructed by the close of VIto the turn to
XVII centuries.

A century after, in the year 1747 a rich
representative of a noble Moldovan family Maria
Catacuzino gifted a land plot to the cloister. In the
year 1782 the wooden church was displaced by a
stone church with a belfry by the donation of Hadja
Marcu Donici, who was bestowed with the lifelong
title of Superior of the cloister for that deed. In the
year 1813 the skete was transformed into a monastery
subordinated to Chisinau Eparchy.

The cloister grew rich and got expanded. Elena
Catacuzino and General Cherkez introduced means
for construction of a winter temple, which was
consecrated in 1854. Although, the final construction
works were terminated already in 1911. At present,
the building appears magnificent. Apropos, Elena
Catacuzino was the object of poetry of legendary
Alexander Pushkin. Sheher maiden name was
Gorchyakovawas the sister of Duke Alexander
Mihaylovich, who was a fellow lyceum student of
Alexander Pushkin and was on friendly terms with
the latter. Elena passed away in 1854 (she was 60
years old) and was buried by the church walls in Ataci
settlement. She also gifted land lots to the monastery.

In the year 1916 the monks were removed
away from Calaraseuca to Dobrusa, while the cloister
was tuned into a nunnery. The nuns operated a
sewing workshop to confection church garments, a
spinning mill, and an orphan asylum. The cloister was
persecuted and closed in 1961. A tuberculosis clinic was
placed in its premises, which was later on displaced by
a boarding school for mentally handicapped children,
and then the cloister was abandoned at all to be
dilapidated by natural calamities and thieves. The
Convent Dormition of the Theotokos was returned
to the Orthodox Church just in 1991.

Nu se tie cu exactitate cnd lng izvorul Hirov a

fost zidit o mnstire de clugri. Nici chiar autorii
Almanahului Basarabeanului aprut la 1906 i care
descrie detaliat mnstirile au prezentat cu referire la
respectivul loca doar nite supoziii. Din informaiile
coninute n aceast ediie putem constata c i
nainte de nceputul sec. I pe aceste locuri schitul
de clugri de la Hirov deja exista. n 1803, n timpul
unui incendiu, schitul a ars. Deoarece schitul nu avea
pmnturi n proprietate, potrivit legilor din acele
timpuri, reconstrucia locaului era interzis.

Oricum, mitropolitul Veniamin a ncercat s
gseasc mijloace pentru restabilirea locaului. Aflnd
despre intenia mitropolitului rzeii (rani liberi
care stpneau n devlmie o bucat de pmnt
din moia satului) au oferit schitului, la sugestia
protoiereului Dimitrie Corichi, 149,5 desetine de
pmnt (mai mult de 150 ha). La fel, rzeii au pus
umrul pentru a finisa construcia bisericii din lemn
cu hramul Sfntul Nicolae (1805). Atunci aici, din
porunca mitropolitului, sosesc clugrie de la schitul
Hrtop care nu avea pmnturi proprii i la acel
moment avea parte de vremuri destul de grele.

Pe locul bisericii din lemn, la 1836, starea
Elizaveta i ieromonahul Fedot au reuit s edifice o
biseric din piatr cu o clopotni la fel ca cea de la
biserica din lemn.

Edificiul a supravieuit pn n prezent.
Apropo, mnstirea Hirova este renumit i prin
faptul c n pridvorul bisericii Sf. Nicolae a fost
nhumat sora fostului Mitropolit al Iaului Gavriil
Callimachi i soia voievodului Ioan Callimachi care
s-a clugrit primind numele de Pelaghia. Un alt
detaliu pentru care locaul este considerat de unicat
mnstirea e situat chiar n sat, iar chiliile sunt nite
case rneti obinuite acoperite cu stuf.

n 1959 mnstirea Hirova a fost nchis aici
fiind amenajat brigada de reparaie a tractoarelor.
n 1992 bunurile lcaului au fost ntoarse n

There is no precise data when a monastery was

constructed on the shore of the Hirov Brook. Even
the authors of The Almanac of Bessarabia (1906)
that described all cloisters of Bessarabia in much
detail were lost in suppositions. Yet, the Almanac
shed the light that already prior to I century
Hirova saw a skete for monks. In the year 1803 the
skete burnt down to earth. And due to the fact that
the skete owned no proper land, to restore it was
prohibited by the laws of that time.

Yet, Metropolitan of Moldova Benjamin
endeavoured to find the means for restoration
of the cloister. When the razesi (minor landlords)
discovered the intentions of the Metropolitan, they
following the advice of Dimitrie Koritsky allotted
149.5 desyatinas of land to the cloister (more than
150 ha). In addition, the kind-hearted landlords
aided to construct a wooden church in the honour
of St. Nicolas (1805). The Metropolitan ordered to
settle the monks from the skete of Hirtop, which
did not owned land and was in decay.

The wooden church was substituted by a
stone temple in the year 1836 by the efforts of Nun
Superior Elisabeth and arch-monk Theodotos with
the replica of the belfry by the wooden church.

This very building has survived till nowadays.
Apropos, Hirova monastery is renowned due to
the fact that the vestibule of St. Nicolas church is
the burial place of the sister of the Mitropolitan
of Iasi (a city in Romania) Gabriel Kallimaha and
the wife of Voivode Ioan Kallimaha, who took
her monastic vows and was given the religious
name of Pelageya. One more unique feature of
the cloister is that it is located right in the village,
while ordinary peasant houses under cane roofs
are used as monastic cells.

In the year 1959 Hirova monastery was
persecuted and closed. The premises of the cloister
were used by a tractor repair workshop. In the year
1992 the monastic estates were rehabilitated and
restored to the Orthodox Church.

Schitul a fost construit n aceste locuri pe la

1740 fiind numit nlarea de la Hrjauca.
Pe la nceputul sec. XIX, tnra mnstire are

cnd arhimandritul Spiridon Filipovici devine

Spiridon s-a clugrit pe cnd era nc foarte
tnr. Prsind patria acesta a pribegit mai mult
timp. n 1818 se stabilete n Basarabia i decide
s se ngrijeasc de mnstirea de la Hrjauca.
El ofer pmnturile mnstireti ranilor spre
statornicire, amenajeaz livezi i grdini, ncepe s
ndeletniceasc de plugrie i creterea vitelor. La
1836, Spiridon zidete biserica nclzit i chiliile.
n locul vechii biserici din lemn el ridic alta, din
piatr, cu hramul Inlarea Domnului. Cei care
au avut ocazia s vad locaul n acele timpuri

mnstirea. n livezi erau amenajate havuzuri,
foioare de la care spre heleteiele ce atrn unul

n 1845, mnstirea trece n subordinea

fostul arhiepiscop de Chiinu i Hotin Irinarh,
care vine cu multe modificri i reamenajri n
acest loca: a reconstruit practic toate edificiile din
cadrul mnstirii, a finalizat construcia bisericii cu
hramul Sfntul Spiridon al Trimitundei. Ceva mai
trziu, la mnstire apar chiliile stareului fcute

de brutrie proprie, 7 case pentru clugri, grajd de

The skete in the place appeared approximately in the

year 1740 and it got the name of Ascensio Christi
of Harjauca. To the turn to XIX century the young
monastery survived its hard times. It was forayed
and plundered by the Turks and the Tatars. Such
ruined premises were taken over by Archimandrite
Spyridon: he stepped in for the Father Superior
Tarasios. Spyridon originated from Montenegro, early
took his monastic vows and left his motherland for
wandering. In the year 1818 he settled in Bessarabia
having made up his mind to develop the monastery
in Harjauca. He settled peasants onto the monastic
lands, laid orchards, engaged in arable farming and
cattle breeding. In the year 1836 he constructed a
warm church and monastic cell. Onto the place of the
old wooden church Spyridon constructed a new stone
one Ascensio Christi. Those visitors who chanced
to witness the cloister those times were enchanted
by the gardens and vineyards surrounding the
monastery. Inside the gardens there were arranged
fountains, pavilions and summer houses, from which
there stretched clean paths leading to cascaded pools.

In the year 1845 the monastery was
subordinated to Chisinau Eparchy. Harjauca became
the favourite place of then-Archbishop of Chisinau
and Hotin Irinarkhhe used to spend much time in
the cloister: he reconstructed almost all the buildings,
completed construction of the church in honour of
Saint Spyrido. And a bit later the monastery saw the
construction of stone cells for Father Superior under
the church and the residences with 7 departments.
The monastery ran a bakery, 7 buildings for monks,
a stable, and auxiliary premises for household needs.
It was circled by high stone fence. The monastery was
renowned due to its vast library and school.

This is the appearance of the monastery by
the close of XIX century preserved till nowadays.
Although, all the buildings required overhaul: some
of them have already been restored. Yet, some other
premises need reconstruction.

The soviet government persecuted and closed
the cloister: a health resort was established in its
premises instead. While in the year1993 the monks
came here again.

uimitoare ntmpltor. Aici a sosit Efrem Jurcu, un
vduv din staul Olicani, care, marcat de trecerea
soiei n nefiin, a dorit s se clugreasc.
Jurnalistul A. Srbu scrie n culegerea Mnstirile
Basarabiei (1995) c mai trziu, la rugmintea
vduvului, aici au sosit trei ieromonahi, Serafim,
loanichie i Macarie, mpreun cu un clugr
pe nume Atanasie. Ajuni la faa locului acetia
imediat au i purces la treab: i-au spat n
pdure bordeie i au nceput s locuiasc acolo.

Efrem Jurcu avea hrtii care atestau dreptul
de folosin a terenului pe care n prezent este
situat mnstirea. Doar c lotul deinut de
vduv era foarte mic i n ajutor au venit locuitorii
din Bravicea care au druit schimnicilor nite
pmnturi. Un alt lot a reuit s cumpere i Efrem
din mijloacele sale.

n 1805 ei au putut s sfineasc locul
pentru a ridica prima biseric din lemn. Locuitorii
din Bravicea le-au ajutat monahilor care se
adposteau n bordeiele spate n pmnt s
contruiasc chiliile i trapeza. S-a pstrat i pn
n zilele noastre icoana Sfntului Nicolae din prima
biseric a mnstirii. Pe icoan este nscris data
sfinirii acelei biserici 1810.

n 1840 aici este nlat clopotnia, iar
n 1851, n locul bisericii din lemn este zidit
o biseric din piatr, cea de var, cu hramul
Adormirea Maicii Domnului. Nu se tie cu
exactitate cnd a fost construit biserica de
iarn, dar se consider c aceasta a fost ridicat
aproximativ pe la mijlocul sec. XVIII.

n locul mnstirii nchise n 1947,
autoritile nfiineaz o cas de copii. Peste 17 ani
instituia este reprofilat ntr-un internat pentru
copii cu deficiene de auz. n 1973 mnstirea
a fost transformat ntr-o colonie de corecie
pentru minore, iar peste 13 ani aici este deschis
un internat pentru copii cu handicap mintal.
Clugrii revin n loca abia din 1994 i de atunci
acetia se ngrijesc de restabilirea mnstirii. n
prezent, la Frumoasa funcioneaz un Muzeu al
manuscriselor i crilor vechi. La fel, exponatele
adunate aici familiarizeaz vizitatorii cu traiul i

The cloister has been founded in this place not in vain.

Once upon a time a widower Efrem Jurcu arrived to
this marvellous place from Oliscani village with the
desire to take his monastic vows. The loss of his wife
must have shocked him deeply. As described by a
journalist Sarbu in the almanac The Monasteries of
Bessarabia (1995), a bit later by the request of Efrem
three more monastic priests arrived to the place:
Seraphim, Ioaniky and Makary, and monk Athanasius
together with them. All of them embarked on work
at once: they made dugouts in the forest and settled
therein.

Efrem Jurcu had the proving documents on
him that entitled him to use a plot of the land where
the modern convent is located. Yet, the plot of the
widower was ridiculously small. The residents of
Bravicea settlement helpedthey presented the
land to the hermits, and in addition Efrem was able
to purchase a bit more.

In the year 1805 they consecrated the site
for construction of the first wooden temple. The
residents of Bravicea settlement helped the monks
residing in the dugouts to construct a refectory and
cells. The icon of St. Nicolas that used to decorate the
first wooden church has survived till nowadays. There
is an inscription on the icon reading that the church
was consecrated in the year 1810.

The belfry was erected in the year 1840, while in
1851 they substituted the wooden church with a new
warm stone church Dormition of the Theotokos
meant for summer worship. There is no precise data
as to when the winter church was constructed, yet
it is known functioning since the middle of XVIII
century.

In the year 1947 the cloister was oppressed
and abolished, while the premises were used as an
orphanage. 17 years after the establishment was used
as a boarding school for children with handicapped
hearing. In 1973 the monastery was turned into
a penitentiary for minor girls. And 13 years after
it became a boarding school for mentally insane
children. The nuns came here only in 1994, who have
been trying to rehabilitate the cloister in the course of
recent years. At present Frumoasa monastery sees a
museum of old manuscripts and books, culture and
local lore.

According to some sources, the skete was founded

in the year 1797 by the priests Andrei and Ioan Rosca
from Pascani settlement. They got assisted by the
razesi (minor landlords) Simon and Constantine
Stratu upon this godly undertaking. According to
other sources, the skete was established in 1798
owing to the efforts paid by the priests Ioan Horeu
and Leonty Bareacu. Initially the skete was meant
for monks. Yet, in the year 1811 the nuns from
Mapa skete located close to Curchi monastery got
resettled into Raciula skete.

At first, the cloister saw construction of a
wooden church. The first stone temple was built in
1822. This was a winter church with heating. In the
year 1845 one more stone church appeared in the
cloister meant for summer worship.

Raciula is attractive due to its being placed
right in the same-named settlement. In 1959 the
soviet authorities decided to abolish the cloister.
Yet, the nuns were unwilling to leave the convent
and locked themselves inside the convent. Then the
authorities resorted to armament. There were the
killed and the injured.

In 1990 the convent was reopened.

By the entrance to Rudi monastery there used

to be installed a nameborad with the brief
history of the convent. The cloister was founded
in 1774-1777 by the ruling and upon support of
Gospodar Grigorie Ghika III. He was seriously ill
and no remedy helped him unless he learnt about
healing properties of the waters of the spring
located near the present convent. The Gospodar
got healed from the disease and founded a
cloister as gratitude.

The cloister strikes by both the architecture
of its churches and the divine nature around:
mountains, waterfalls, forests It is magnificent
and godly!

Until 1828 the skete was meant for monks.
Then it was turned into a convent and survived till
1846. Yet, the cloister experienced its decay and
was closed. The monastic life was resumed only
in 1921 not to last for long: in1946 the skete was
oppressed and closed, while the cells were used
as shelter for orphans.

The convent was revived only in 1990.

Cave monasteries of Moldova
Mnstirile rupestre din Moldova

Moldova is renowned due to its unique cave
monasteries established inside natural and manmade caves onto mount tops. Such cloisters
represent interest both for researchers and tourists:
the monasteries keep many mysteries to discover.
Scientists suppose that there are much more cave
monasteries in Moldova than it has been known
at present. Apart of the well-known cloisters in
settlements Tipova (Rezina district), Saharna (Rezina
district), Butuceni (Orhei district), Japca (Floresti
district); there are several more cloisters in Cosauti
(Soroca district), Calaraseuca (Ocnita district),
Molovata (Dubasari district), Soroca and others, yet
they are poorly explored or the traces of monastic life
have vanished. A visit to a cave monastery provides
for unforgettable impressions and one may penetrate
into absolutely different life as it was led in remote
times.
Tipova
Tipova cave monastery (Tipova settlement, Rezina
district) is located onto the rocky shore of the Nistru
River. This Orthodox cave monastery is the largest
not only in Moldova, but also in all Eastern Europe.
The monastic community of the cloister formed here
much earlier than the Moldovan Feudal Principality.
Some cells are considered to have been caved in a
steep rock already in X-XII century. Another part of
monastic premises dates back to XVIIthe turn to
XVIII centuries, when the Turkish yoke was thrown
down and the monks settled closer to the mount
top. This is the period that saw construction of a new
church inside the rock, a belfry, 15 cells, refectory and
many household premises linked by multiple galleries
and stair passages. Since 1776 the monastery saw its
blossom and expansion. The cave church was divided
into larger premises parted one from another by
massive columns.

In the soviet epoch the monastery was oppressed
and closed. In 1974 the ruins of the cave monastery
of Tipova were taken under State protection, while
in 1994 Orthodox divine services were resumed.
According to beliefs, Moldovan Gospodar (Ruler)
Stefan cel Mare got married to Maria Voichita in
this monastery, while another legend reads that
these rocks witnessed the last days of Mythical poet
Orpheus, whose relics were buried in the niche of a
canyons cascades.

The monastic ensemble encompasses 2 parts
carved inside a rock at the height of 90-100 metres.
All in all, 18 rooms have survived that are linked
together by stairs, internal passages, terraces and
balconies. Of special interest is the church Dormition
of the Theotokos. It is rather spacious, the walls are
plastered.

In the place that once hosted the church St.
Nicolas which has not survived till nowadays the
archeologists have discovered two ancient icons. The
first depicts the Theotokos with the inscription in Old
Slavic style: This sacred icon appeared onto the rock
in the year 1466 after the Birth of Christ during the
living of Bishop Damian, who resided in the fortress

of Bessarabia. Me, Bishop Damian, have installed the
icon in the church St. Hierarch Nicolas constructed
in the rock below the fort, during the living of Maria,
daughter of the landlord of the fort KyrStefan
Toadere Basarab, that was left orphan aging 18 years
old and inherited the fort. The inscription has been
made by me, Bishop Damian, being 83 years old.

The monastery is open for visitors daily.
Saharna
The cave monastery in Saharna settlement, Rezina
district, was established approximately in II-V
centuries. The nature of the place is divine. Should
one come down from the cave monastery along the
path, you will get to the waterfall with crystal clean
water. Closer to the cave cloister there streams a
powerful spring, the waters of which are considered
healing. Several years ago a pool was constructed
by the spring. Deep forests, rocks, pure waterall
this helped the monks to subsist. While the cells of
the cloister placed inside the rock in a canyon were
well sheltered from enemies by trees. Thus, the
nature saved the monks from persecution, and the
cloisterfrom plunder.

Having established the cloister in the midst
of the rocks, the monks arranged a facade-house in
front of it. Later, in 1776, 1857 and 1992 the annex
was renovated.

The monks residing in the cave monastery
established a ground cloister. Atop a rock there is
a footprint left by the Theotokos according to the
legend. Above it there is a small chapel. The legend
reads that a monk from the cave cloister saw a lit
appearance of the Gods Mother. While reaching the
top, the monk found a footprint in the rockthe sign
they believed to be the divine proof of Godly purity
of the place. Later, in 1777, closer to the canyon
they built a new wooden church and founded the
monastery Saint Trinity. At present, this is one of
the most popular monasteries in Moldova.

The cave monastery is open for worship, yet
there are no hermits. Though, tourists are often
guests who come to witness the miracle. The
monastery is located in isolation from the ground
cloister half kilometre far and could be accessed via a
mountain path protected by handrail.
Butuceni
In Butuceni settlement (Orhei district), which is
included into the historical-cultural museum complex
Old Orhei, there is a unique monastery inside a rock
over the Reut River.

The walls of the monastery are always cool, even
when it is hot outside. Recently the monastery was
reconstructed; the handrails and wooden entrance
door have been installed. A church was established
inside the cloister to see burning candles and crowds
of people. From the church one may come out to a
rock terrace to admire the picturesque scenery.
CAVE MONASTERIES MNSTIRI RUPESTRE

This monastery is inhabited: monk Efim is
permanently residing in the cloister (his secular name
is Nicolai Babici), who watches the order in the cave
church and responds to the questions of frequent
visitors. Only during cold winter days he goes to spend
nights in the monastery onto the top of the rock.

It is arguable when exactly the cave monastery
appeared. Some scientists allege that the monastic
life was led here since II century, while others refer
the foundation to V century. The monastery was
discovered in 1821, when the residents of Butuceni
settlement cut a 20-metre corridor in the rock and
found themselves inside a church. The cloister was
revived: a belfry was erected above the entrance,
which at present indicates the position of the church
beneath the earth inside the rock.

In the neighborhood of the monastery, onto
the same shore of the Reut River inside a steep rock
the traces of another church have been discovered,
where once the divine services were carried out. The
inscription onto the rock reads that the monastery
was founded in the place in the year 1675 by parcalab
(military governor) of Orhei town Bosie. According
to other sourcesthe Moldovan deedsthe
monastery existed here even earlier.

Close to the belfry above the cave monastery
there is one more ground cloister. The walls of the
church Dormition of the Theotokos constructed in
I century are painted nice yellow. The monks are
willing to tell the tourists their stories about the
unique monument of Old Orhei.
Japca
Japca Cave Convent Ascensio Christi is located in
the north of Moldova in Floresti district (160 km far
from Chisinau). According to the legend, the founder
of Japca cloister was monk Ezekiel from Lviv who
was travelling across Bessarabia. With the feeling
of compassion for the residents of Japca, who were
deprived from the possibility to construct an ordinary
church due to frequent forays of the Tatars, the monk
proposed them to build a church right inside the rock
located in the direct closeness to the settlement.
With time, cells were carved in the rock by the church,
and monastic community was formed.

Since its foundation in XVII century the cloister
was much reminiscent of a fortified erection. The
first reference of the monastery dates back to the
year 1693, when the monks subsisted in rocky cells
and carried out Divine Liturgy in the church carved
inside the rock. In the year 1770 the monastery was
located right in the place where we find it today.
This period the monks built auxiliary premises for
household needs and enhanced the monastery.
They also gathered a rich book collection. The stone
churches were built to the turn to XIX century. The
most prominent church of the cloister was rebuilt
several times. At present, there are three altars in it:
Ascensio Christi, Holy Transfiguration and LifeCreating Cross.

This is the only one cloister that was not closed
by soviet authorities. While inside the cave cloister
there is a church as yet. Though, rare Divine Liturgy is
carried out there for only a physically trained person
is able to climb atop.
Mnstirile rupestre din Moldova
Moldova este renumit la fel i prin mnstirile rupestre de

unicat ntemeiate n peterile naturale sau n cele fcute
de mna omului. Locaurile aflate pe vrfuri de stnc
prezint interes pentru turiti, dar i pentru cercettori
pentru c nc ascund o mulime de taine. Savanii

presupun c n Moldova ar putea exista cu mult mai multe
mnstiri rupestre dect se cunoate n prezent. Pe lng
cele renumite de la ipova (raionul Rezina), Saharna
(raionul Rezina), Butuceni (raionul Orhei), Japca (raionul
Floreti) , mai exist cteva la Cosui (raionul Soroca),
Clreuca (raionul Ocnia), Molovata (raionul Dubsari),
n oraul Soroca etc., doar c acestea nu au fost cercetate
sau vestigiile care atest slluirea monahilor acolo au
fost pierdute. Vizitarea unei mnstiri rupestre v asigur
impresii de neuitat, or acolo v vei putei familiariza cu o
cu totul alt via, cea din vremuri demult apuse.
ipova
Mnstirea rupestr de la ipova (raionul Rezina) se nal
pe malul stncos al Nistrului. Acest aezmnt ortodox
este cel mai mare nu doar din Moldova, dar i din Europa
de Est. Obtea monahal s-a constituit aici cu mult timp
nainte de ntemeierea statului feodal moldovenesc.
Se presupune c unele dintre chilii ar fi fost spate n
stnca abrupt prin sec. X-XII. Celelalte, adic majoritatea
ncperilor mnstireti, au fost amenajate pe la sfritul
sec. XVII nceputul sec. XVIII, cnd jugul ttarilor a fost
scuturat, iar clugrii s-au mutat mai aproape de vrful
stncii. Anume atunci, n stnca de pe malul fluviului, au
fost spate n piatr o biseric nou, clopotnia, 15 chilii,
trapeza (cuhnia) i multiple ncperi unite ntre ele prin
galerii i treceri. Din 1776, ncepe perioada de nflorire a
locaului, iar mnstirea se extinde. Biserica din stnc a
fost mprit n ncperi mari separate prin coloane solide.

n perioada sovietic mnstirea a fost nchis i
distrus. n 1974, ruinele mnstirii rupestre ipova au fost
luate sub ocrotirea statului, iar din 1994 aici au nceput
din nou s fie oficiate serviciile divine. Se consider c n
acest loca domnitorul tefan cel Mare s-ar fi cununat cu
Maria Voichia. Potrivit altei legende, pe aceast stnc
i-ar fi trit ultimii ani din via poetul mitologic Orfeu,
iar osemintele acestuia, cic, zac n nia unei cascade din
defileu.

Ansamblul mnstiresc este format din dou
pri spate n piatr la nlimea de 90-100 m. n total
s-au pstrat 18 ncperi unite ntre ele prin scri, treceri
interioare, terase i balcoane. Un interes aparte prezint
biserica Adormirea Maicii Domnului. Locaul cu pereii
tencuii este destul de ncptor.

Pe locul unde se afla biserica Sf. Nicolae care nu s-a
pstrat pn n prezent arheologii au depistat dou icoane
vechi. Pe prima, cea cu chipul Maicii Domnului, a fost gsit
o inscripie n slavon: Aceast sfnt icoan a aprut pe
stnc n anul 1466 de la Naterea lui Hristos, pe timpul
vieii episcopului Damian care a locuit n cetatea Basarabiei.
Eu, episcopul Damian, am nlat aceast icoan n biserica
Sf. Nicolae pe care am construit-o n stnc, mai jos de
cetate, n timpul vieii fiicei jupnului, stpnul cetii, chir
tefan Toader Basarab, Maria, rmas orfan la 18 ani i
devenit stpn a cetii prin motenire. Scris de mine,
episcopul Damian n vrst de 83 de ani.

Mnstirea este deschis vizitatorilor n fiecare zi.
Saharna
Nu se cunoate cu exactitate cnd a aprut mnstirea
rupestr din satul Saharna (raionul Rezina). Se presupune
c prin secolele II-V. Locurile aici sunt extrem de
pitoreti. Cobornd de la mnstirea rupestr pe crruia
erpuitoare vei ajunge la cascada cu ap cristalin.
Lng locaul spat n stnc se afl un izvor puternic.
Apa acestuia este considerat tmduitoare. Acum civa
ani, lng cimea a fost construit o cristelni. Clugrii
au reuit s supravieuiasc graie pdurilor bogate,
stncilor, apei curate. ncperile acestui aezmnt spate
n piatra se aflau n defileu, iar copacii le ascundeau de
ochii dumanilor. Natura prielnic salva astfel monahii de
prigoan, iar mnstirea de devastare.
Drumul mnstirilor

ntemeind locaul n pereii stncilor clugrii au
construit lng el i o anex, o faad-csu. Peste ani, la
1776, 1857 i 1992, anexa a fost renovat.

Tot clugrii care slluiau n mnstirea rupestr
au nfiinat i un loca terestru. Pe una dintre stncile de
aici poate fi vzut o urm care, potrivit legendei, ai fi
fost lsat de Maica Domnului. Actualmente n acel loc se
nal o capel mic. Se spune c un clugr din petera
unde era schitul a avut o vedenie. Monahului i s-a artat
chipul sclipitor al Maicii Domnului. Ajungnd la acea
stnc clugrii au descoperit n piatr o urm de picior.
Ei au considerat acest semn o veste divin i o mrturie a
puritii divine a locului. Mai trziu, n 1777, mai aproape
de defileu a fost ridicat o biseric nou de lemn i a fost
fondat mnstirea Sfnta Treime care actualmente a
devenit una dintre cele mai vizitate din Moldova.

n zilele noastre aezmntul rupestru activeaz,
ns aici nu locuiesc schimnici. Sunt oficiate doar serviciile
divine n biserica din lemn. Trec pe aici i turitii curioi
s vad miracolul. Mnstirea rupestr este situat nu prea
departe de cea terestr, la distana de aproximativ un
km. Spre lcaul de pe stnc duce o crruie pe marginile
creia este instalat o balustrad.
Butuceni
n satul Butuceni (raionul Orhei) care este parte
component a Complexului istorico-muzeal Orheiul
Vechi se afl o mnstire de unicat ascuns n stnca ce
se nal falnic deasupra Rutului.

De la zidurile mnstirii ntotdeauna adie frigul.
Chiar i pe ari aici oricum este rcoare. Practic recent
mnstirea a fost restaurat, aici au fost instalate
balustrade i o u de piatr. n loca a fost amenajat o
biserica unde permanent ard lumnri i se afl oameni.
Din biseric exist o trecere spre o ieitur n stnc de
unde se deschide o privelite fascinant.

n zilele noastre mnstirea este locuit. Acolo
slluiete monahul Efim (pn a se clugri acesta
avea alt nume, Nicolae Babici). Acesta se ngrijete de
ordinea din biserica rupestr ce funcioneaz, rspunde
la ntrebrile vizitatorilor. Doar cnd se las frigurile iernii
schimnicul pleac s nnopteze n mnstirea de pe stnc.

Savanii mai polemizeaz vizavi de perioada cnd
a fost ntemeiat mnstirea rupestr. Unii afirm c
aezmntul ar fi aprut n sec. II, iar n opinia altora
n sec. V. Cert este c locaul a fost descoperit n 1821
cnd butucenenii au spat n pmnt un coridor de 20 de
m ajungnd pn la biseric. Atunci locaul a renscut:
deasupra intrrii a fost ridicat o clopotni care i n zilele
noastre are menirea de a indica locul de aflare a bisericii n
interiorul stncii.

n apropierea mnstirii rupestre, la fel pe malul
Rutului i tot pe o stnc abrupt, ntr-o peter, au fost
depistate vestigii ale unui sfnt loca situat aici pe timpuri.
Din inscripia dltuit n piatr aflm c mnstirea
a fost zidit la 1675 de ctre Bosie, prclabul (boier,
administrator al unei ceti sau al unei fortree) oraului
Orhei. Din alte surse, i anume din hrisoavele moldoveneti,
ar reiei c mnstirea exista aici i mai devreme.

Nu departe de clopotnia ce se nal deasupra
mnstiri rupestre se afl o alt mnstire, una terestr.
Pereii bisericii cu hramul Adormirea Maicii Domnului
construite n sec. I sunt vopsite ntr-un galben plcut
ochiului. Clugrii de aici le povestesc turitilor cu mult
plcere despre monumentul de unicat, Orheiul Vechi.
Japca
Mnstirea rupestr nlarea Domnului de la Japca este
situat la nordul Moldovei, n raionul Floreti, la distana
de cca 160 km de Chiinu. Legenda spune c locaul a
fost fondat de ieromonahul Izechiil (originar din Lvov) care
cltorea prin Basarabia. Dintr-un sentiment de compasiune
pentru locuitorii din Japca care de rul invaziilor ttarilor
nu-i puteau construi o biseric obinuit el le propune s

edifice un aezmnt chiar n stnca cea mai apropiat de
sat. Cu timpul, n preajma bisericii au fost spate chilii, iar la
schitul lui Izechiil a nceput s se adune o obte de clugri.

Chiar de la ntemeiere, n sec. XVII, mnstirea
semna foarte mult cu o fortrea. Prima atestare despre
loca dateaz cu anul 1693. Pe atunci clugrii locuiau n
chiliile din peter, iar slujbele aveau loc n biserica spat
n stnc. Din 1770 aezmntul este situat pe locul unde
se gsete i n zilele noastre. n acea perioad demareaz
construcia ncperilor gospodreti i amenajarea
locaului. A fost fondat i un depozit valoros de cri. La
nceputul sec. XIX aici sunt zidite biserici din piatr. Cea
mai important biseric a mnstirii a fost recondiionat
de trei ori. Actualmente aceasta dispune de trei altare
nlarea Domului, Schimbarea la Fa a Mntuitorului i
Sfnta Cruce.

Este unica mnstire din Moldova care n-a fost
nchis n perioada sovietic. n locaul din stnc n
prezent funcioneaz o biseric. Serviciile divine nu sunt
oficiate aici dect foarte rar, pentru c acces pe stnc
exist doar de jos, de la mnstire, drumul fiind destul
de dificil pentru o persoanele fr pregtirea fizic
corespunztoare.

CLOISTERS OF MOLDOVA
MNSTIRI
55 Orthodox Sacred Cloisters are opened in

Moldova as of yet: 22 monasteries and 6 cloisters
for monks, 24 monasteries and 2 cloisters for nuns,
and 1 monastery for Old-Believers. The territories
of present-day Moldova have been historically
attracting people of faith who believed this land
to be consecrated. To the turn of XVIII century
the country saw more than 30 monasteries and
cloisters opened.

Every cloister has a proper history that can
reveal multiple captivating events. All the cloisters
are located in the most picturesque places of
Moldova, in deep forests or onto mount slopes, by
cascades of lakes or rivers, inside canyons next to
waterfalls, onto mount summits and even in the
heart of villages and towns.

The first monasteries in Moldova were
carved inside rocky mountains. One of the oldest
on-land cloisters to have survived till nowadays
is Varzaresti Monastery (Varzaresti settlement,
Nisporeni district). While, the forerunners
of monastic live in this country are Capriana
Monastery (Capriana settlement, Straseni district),
Hancu Convent (Bursuc settlement, Nisporeni
district), Japca Convent (Japca settlement, Floresti
district) and many others.

Distinctively beautiful are Curchi Monastery
(Curchi settlement, Orhei district), Calarasovca
Convent (Calarasovca settlement, Ocnita district),
Noul Neamti Monastery (Chitcani settlement,
Slobozia district, Transnistria), Rudi Convent (Rudi
settlement, Soroca district), Suruceni Convent
(Suruceni settlement, Ialoveni district). Four
cloisters of Calarasi district form a cross to be
marked from the height of birds flight: Harjauca,
Frumoasa, Hirboveti, Raciula. As a rule, visitors
are eager to sightsee all four cloisters at a time.
Saharna Monastery (Rezina district) is often
visited by people in hope to heal themselves: a
unique mountain spring is hosted by the place.
Besides the cloister, in Saharna one may sightsee
a waterfall, a cloister carved in a rock and ancient
monuments of archaeology.

Cloisters-villages are of interest either: cells
of monks are placed in village houses in contrast to
usual separate premises especially constructed for
residence. For example, Raciula Convent (Raciula
settlement, Calarasi district) or Hirova Convent
(Nicolaevca settlement, Orhei district), where the
roofs of houses are constructed of cane by old
Moldovan tradition.

In 1950s-1960s the cloisters of Moldova
were liquidated. The only survivor was Japca
Convent. To the turn to 1990s monastic life was
revived. Monastic gates are always open: for both
people of faith and visitors interested in the past
and present days of Moldova.
Pe teritoriul Moldovei funcioneaz 55 de

locauri sfinte cretin-ortodoxe: 22 mnstriri
i 6 schituri pentru brbai, 24 de mnstiri i
2 schituri de maici, o mnstiire de rit vechi.
Din cele mai vechi timpuri, teritoriul actualei
Moldove i atrgea pe credincioi, care
considerau acest pmnt drept unul sfnt.
Spre sfritul secolului XVIII aici funcionau
mai bine de 30 de mnstiri i schituri.

Fiecare loca i are istoria sa, captivant
i bogat n evenimente. Toate mnstirile
sunt amplasate n cele mai pitoreti locuri ale
Moldovei, n pduri dese sau printre stnci,
n preajma unor cascade, ruri, peteri, pe
vrfuri de dealuri, ba chiar i n mijlocul unor
sate i orae.

Primele aezminte sfinte pe teritoriul
Moldovei au fost mnstirile rupestre. Una
dintre cele mai vechi mnstiri terestre,
care s-a pstrat pn n zilele noastre, este
mnstirea Vrzreti (satul Vrzreti,
raionul Nisporeni). Printre primele mnstiri
fondate n Moldova sunt, de asemenea,
Cpriana (satul Cpriana, raionul Streni),
Hncu (satul Bursuc, raionul Nisporeni), Japca
(satul Japca, raionul Floreti) i altele.

Sunt neobinuit de frumoase
mnstirile Curchi (satul Curchi, raionul
Orhei), Clreuca (satul Clreuca,
raionul Ocnia), Noul Neam (satul Chicani,
raionul Slobozia), Rudi (satul Rudi, raionul
Soroca), Suruceni (satul Suruceni, raionul
Ialoveni). Patru mnstiri din raionul Clrai
- Hrjauca, Frumoasa, Hrbov, Rciula - sunt
amplasate astfel, nct formeaz o cruce. De
regul, oaspeii viziteaz toate aceste patru
aezminte. La mnstirea Saharna (raionul
Rezina), mult lume vine cu sperana de a
se tmdui: aici se afl un izvor de munte
considerat fctor de minuni. n afar de
mnstire, la Saharna exist o cascad, o
mnstire rupestr i vechi monumente
arheologice.

Merit atenie i mnstirile-sat: chiliile
monahilor sunt amplasate nu n cldiri special
construite, ci n casele din sat. Aa sunt, de
exemplu, mnstirile Rciula (satul Rciula,
raionul Clrai) i Hirova (satul Neculieuca,
raionul Orhei), unde acoperiurile caselor sunt
n mod tradiional acoperite cu stuf.
