About
The monastery was founded in 1997 on the initiative of the priest Florin Tohănean and the Maria and Gheorghe Muscalu family.
In 2002, Prelate Ioan laid the foundation stone for a brick church. The first mass in this church was celebrated in December 2004. The church is built on a triconic plan with a single tower, the Pantocrator. The side apses and the one in the Holy Altar are hemispherical. The porch is open, consisting of three arches, the central one of which is accentuated. The iconostasis is carved in lime wood. The royal icons are painted in the Byzantine style with a gold background.
In the autumn of 2007, the fresco painting works in neo-Byzantine style were started, and were executed by the church painter Vasile Buzuloi, who is certified with the category I qualification.
In the spring of 2005, work began on a multi-storey designed kiosk. The parallel-pyramidal chapel has at its northern end a winter chapel facing east, perpendicular to the axis of the large church. Access to the chapel is directly from the outside, with the open porch to be fitted out. The large church, the main chapel and the chapel have a resinous wood roof and the roof is made of copper sheeting.
In April 2008, three bells of 450, 260 and 185 kg calibre, cast in Austria, were brought in. In 2009, work began on the bell tower.
Every year, the monastery is a place of pilgrimage for many believers from Covasna, Brasov, Buzău and all over the country.
