August 16, 2026 · 1 min read

The Blessed Father Patriarch Daniel sent a message on Sunday at the local proclamation of the canonization of the Pious Saints Nazaria, Olimpiada and Elisabeta from Văratec, in which he emphasized: "Through their spiritual lives, they enlightened the souls of the monks and lay believers, showing them the way of salvation in Christ".

The Patriarch of Romania showed that these three saints meet in a single spiritual foundation, "that of unceasing prayer carried in the secret of the heart, of almsgiving performed with humility and discretion, and of diligence and merciful love poured out on those in need".

"Today, at the blessed moment of the local proclamation of the canonization of the Pious Saints Nazaria, Olimpiada and Elisabeta from Văratec, we wish to express our appreciation and appreciation towards the hierarchs, clergy and believers who, with much love, came to honor these great needy hesychasts, lights and spiritual icons of the Văratec Monastery", His Beatitude conveyed.

The local proclamation took place at the Văratec Monastery in Neamț county, and the message of Patriarch Daniel was presented by Metropolitan Teofan of Moldova and Bucovina.
