Summary/Abstract: In the anniversary year 2017, designated by the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church, under the proposal of the Beatitude Patriarch Daniel, “The anniversary year of the holy icons, icon-makers and church painters and The commemorative year Justinian the Patriarch and the defenders of Orthodoxy during the time of the communism in Romanian Patriarchy” and throughout the years prior to this anniversary year, several books, articles and studies have come out, highlighting the personality and activity of the Patriarch Justinian, who led the Romanian Orthodox Church in very troubled times, for which reason he was quite often vilified and catalogued as the “red” Patriarch. During his Patriarchate, the ecumenical connections were restored and the contacts with other related Churches have been intensified. Throughout this time, several parishes were set up in the West, four on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. This article is specifically dedicated to setting up these religious communities.
