Summary/Abstract: Two initiatives taken in the interwar years by Pimen Georgescu, Archbishop of Iasi and Metropolitan of Moldavia and Suceava, i.e. to express fidelity and renewal, by organizing and holding the Synod and cultural events in Iasi in 1925 (the year when Romanian Orthodox Church was elevated to a Patriarchate and Metropolitan, Primate Miron Cristea was enthroned as the first Patriarch) and to cultivate the culture of gratitude by building the Mausoleum or the “Church of the Nation” at Marasesti, show, in the concrete circumstances of the time, both the authenticity and the depth of understanding of his priestly ministry, as well as the devotion, honesty and the exemplary diligence of the hierarch and of his collaborators. These traits complete the image by which he wished to remain in the memory of posterity, that of “Metropolitan of the War and of the Unification of the Romanian Nation”.
