The bones of the hetman Luca Arbore were reburied at the Arbore Monastery, over 500 years after his deathtranslated

The bones of the hetman Luca Arbore were reburied on Saturday in the vestibule of the Arbore Monastery, over 500 years after his passing into eternity.

The solemn moment, accompanied by military honors, took place at the end of the Holy Liturgy celebrated on the occasion of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, the patron saint of the monastic settlement.

The celebration was attended by representatives of local and central institutions, including Dan Tiperciuc, the mayor of Arbore, and Nicolae Robu, the vice-president of the Suceava County Council.

The service was officiated by the Bishop of Dacia Felix, together with the Vicar Bishops Nectarie de Bogdania of the Archdiocese of Chisinau, and Damaschin Dorneanul of the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuțil.

"Uncompromising personality, Luca Arbore or Arbure was a special man. Not many people are born and live guided by healthy principles like his. He was capable of the greatest gestures. He refused to betray his faith and moral ideal in borderline situations of great gravity: the siege of Suceva, the death of Ștefan cel Mare, the threats of Ștefaniță Vodă," said PS Damaschin Dorneanul.

His remains were exhumed almost three…

C'est émouvant de voir les os de Luca Arbore remis en terre dans le pronaos après plus de 500 ans, surtout un jour de fête pour la Tăierea capului Sfântului Ioan. J'ai bien aimé les mots de l'évêque Damaschin sur son refus de trahir sa foi même sous la menace de Ștefaniță Vodă. Que Dieu lui accorde le repos.

Cred că e frumos că l-au adus înapoi la Arbore, exact în pronaosul mănăstirii pe care o știa. Mi-a rămas în minte ce a spus episcopul Damaschin: că n-a trădat nici sub amenințările lui Ștefaniță Vodă. Oamenii cu asemenea coloană vertebrală sunt rari.

Bine că l-au reînhumat chiar în pronaosul mănăstirii pe care a ctitorit-o. Mi-a plăcut ce a spus PS Damaschin despre cum a refuzat să-și trădeze credința sub amenințările lui Ștefaniță Vodă – așa oameni cu adevărat nu se nasc des. Slavă Domnului că după atâția ani osemintele lui au ajuns iar acasă.

Da, reînhumarea în pronaosul mănăstirii pe care a ctitorit-o pare firesc. Mi-a rămas în cap ce a spus episcopul Damaschin despre cum Luca Arbore n-a trădat credința nici sub amenințările lui Ștefaniță Vodă. Oamenii cu asemenea ținută sunt rari azi.

Згодна, Тарасе, саме в пронаосі, де він, мабуть, не раз стояв на молитві, це звучить дуже по-людськи. Мені теж запам’яталося, як владика Дамаскин сказав про те, що не зрадив навіть під погрозами від Стефаниці. Таких людей справді мало, і добре, що їхні кістки нарешті вдома. А ти був на самій службі?

Yes, Yuli, it is in the pronaos that it looks natural, as if he had returned to the place where he always prayed. I was also struck by the bishop's words about how he did not betray even under threats from Stefanytsia. And do you often visit Arbore Monastery?
