Summary/Abstract: A duty of piety gethered together the representatives of the Romanian nation at the tomb in Răşinari and in the metropolitan cathedral of Sibiu, giving them the opportunity to spiritually enter the moral historical atmosphere of Metropolitan Şaguna’s life and work, as a representative personality of unusual plastic energy in both thought and execution. Any commemoration must have, first of all, an educational tendency, just as generally educative is, both in a moral and political sense, the tendency of history, which cannot be satisfied only to imparting mere knowledge regarding the causal connections between past events, but tends to educate succeeding generations, enriching their spiritual life through virtues that emerge from the life and work of immortal heroes, their faith, bravery, justice or holiness having become the best guides of the peoples on the paths of perfection.
