Summary/Abstract: Important personalities like Fr. Gheorghe Calciu, Fr. Vasile Vasilachi, Fr. Felix Dubneac, Fr. Roman Braga or the Archbishop Justinian Chira have left their mark on the history and tradition of the hesychasm in the Romanian space. Using the information that we have about them, but also their testimonies and notes, we will try to emphasize the way how they developed this tradition on our lands and in the same time to bring into attention their legacy and their heroism in a society where the religion was often prosecuted and its representatives often imprisoned for being „mystics”, which was seen as a form of „ploting against the social order”
