Orthodoxy between the Dream of Constantine the Great and Constantin Brâncoveanu's Sacrifice
Orthodoxy between the Dream of Constantine the Great and Constantin Brâncoveanu's Sacrifice

Summary/Abstract: This paper intends to present events in the lives of both Constantine the Great and Constantin Brancoveanu, whose reigns, although at different times and in different areas, had several common features - the spread of Christianity and orthodox faith in southeastern Europe and the current Romanian territories, the faith in Jesus as the son of God and in God, faith which opened the heavens to the true Kingdom to both of them. The two personalities are also some remarkable examples of heroism and dignity managing to become models both in the history of religions and, respectively, in the history of the Romanian people. The authors of this article do not pretend to make an essential contribution to the significance of the two personalities, namely Constantine the Great and Constantin Brancoveanu. Our approach consists of the data we can transmit to our theological students who study a foreign language, so that they can transmit, in turn, in English and French, the huge contribution made by the two great leaders to the spread of Orthodoxy in Europe and also in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic area
