With a Preface by Metropolitan Vlasie

“We have attempted in this work to gather information about the deeds and sufferings of the Romanian clergy and laity who defended the True (Old Calendar) Orthodox Church during sixty-five years of religious persecution between October of 1924 and December of 1989. We have gathered in a bouquet, as it were, what has been preserved in the memory of those who lived through the persecution, as well as what has been recorded in various reports addressed to the political leadership and State agencies during the period of Communist totalitarianism, with the goal of making these facts known both to today’s generation and to tomorrow’s. We have tried to reveal, here, at least a small part of the persecution suffered by these true strugglers who remained devoted to the Orthodox Faith of our fathers, sufferings generated by human wickedness and ultimately forgotten by people with the passing of time.”
