New mosaics visible in Romanian National Cathedral altar as scaffolding removed (+PHOTOS)

Bucharest, September 10, 2021

The dismantling of the scaffolding that was erected to install the mosaics in the altar of the Romanian Orthodox Church’s National Cathedral in Bucharest has begun, thus providing a better view of the Biblical scenes and saints that adorn the sacred space.

The foundation stone for the cathedral, also known as the Romanian People’s Salvation Cathedral, was laid on November 29, 2007. 11 years later, in November 2018, the church was consecrated by His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel of Romania together with Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.

The Romanian Church’s Basilica News Agency has published several photos from the altar:

“Iconography, is an aesthetic embellishment, a beauty, and this beauty is not created in order to be admired in itself, but is created in order to direct us to an unseen but real celestial beauty: the glory of the Kingdom of the Most Holy Trinity."
