Summary/Abstract: Bishop Nicolae Popovici of Oradea, a brilliant disciple of Metropolitan Nicolae Bălan of Transylvania, is known for his courage to confess the Orthodox faith even at the risk of deportation and exile to which he was subjected by both the Hungarian authorities following the Vienna Dictate (1940) and the communist authorities. The present study presents the years of exile of the martyred hierarch at the Cheia monastery.
