Sinaia Monastery
At the end of the winter, I rediscover the beautifull monastery silently watching seasons changing over the old town.

The monastery was built in XVII century by Mihail Cantacuzino after a holy journey at the Sinai Mountain and praying in Saint Ecaterina monastery. It was the first construction in the area. The Sinaia town was founded around this monastery.

This is the first religious museum of our country, continuously open to public since 1895.

This is the original monastery building that was constructed by the Cantacuzino family. Unfortunately is still in reconstruction and closed to the public.

There is a beautifully crafted masive wood door. Over the door is the Cantacuzino family’s emblem – the bicephalous eagle.

EMI ia sa-mi spui tu mie de ce tai crucile de pe turle ?
Daca pe Sala Polivalenta pui trei cruci ,chemi un sobor de preoti si o sfintesc, poti spune ca avem o biserica noua?
Dar daca in imaginile tale o biserica apare fara cruc(e)i putem spune ca vrei sa ne arati un depozit frumos pictat pe dinafara ?
Fara rautate vorbind si departe de a ma lasa cuprins de vre-o criza mistica, o biserica este o cladire la urma urmei ca orice cladire incepe si se termina undeva (exceptand detaliile tehnice ori de alta natura).
Altfel te-ar putea cineva acuza de blasfemie.
Au fost cazuri , in presa (noastra) chiar, cand au aparut imagini doar cu Fecioara Maria fara Pruncul din brate invocandu-se lipsa de timp sau de sptiu ori alte scuze puerile.
Nici mie nu-mi plac tiparele dar o biserica nu se fotografiaza in prea multe feluri.
Te poti convinge uitandu-te la cei care au facut-o inintea ta .
