Summary/Abstract: The Metropolitan of Moldavia and Suceava from 1950-1956, Sebastian Rusan, was a providential hierarch of his time, who knew how to slip through the restrictions and abusive censorship practiced by the communist leadership, showing special concern for the spiritual life of his clerics, also striving so that the liturgical life in the parishes does not suffer any disruption, being careful that all the typical ordinances established over the centuries within the Church, as well as the Holy Canons in connection with them, are respected.In the present study we do not want to make an exhaustive presentation of the Sacrament of Baptism or the Sacrament of Communion since numerous works, doctoral theses and articles have been written on this subject. What we propose is to try to highlight, by researching the files found at the Archive of the Metropolia of Moldavia and Bucovina, what were the concerns of Metropolitan Sebastian Rusan in relation to these two Sacraments, instrumental to the liturgical life of the Church.
