2007In Memoriam Father Teoctist, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church (1986-2007) - Set

After almost 80 years devoted to the Romanian Orthodox Church, the Patriarch Teoctist passed away. July 30, 2007 will always remain a mourning day for all Christians, a day which we shall forever bear in our souls, one gloomy day in which an outstanding representative of Orthodoxy – the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church - made his way to everlastingness.

Having joined monarchal life at an early age, the Patriarch to be has gradually served all hierarchical church ladders to finally reach the highest position and supreme dignity in the Romanian Orthodox Church. During his more than 20 years as head of the Romanian Orthodox Church, through unalloyed strains, the Patriarch Teoctist has successfully managed to inflict the Church as the most reliable institution for the Romanian people.
