Summary/Abstract: The present study makes an excursion in the history of the Slavic Church from the 14th century. It tries to emphasize the impact that St. Sergius of Radonezh had over the development of the Russian people. The legacy left by this saint – the model of the harmony inside the Holy Trinity – gathered around his monastery – Holy Trinity in Sergiev Posad – the kernel of an entire civilization. One of his followers was St. Andrew Rublev, the author of the well known icon of the Holy Trinity, which has become a standard in the Orthodox world. The Romanian people also benefited from St. Sergius influence, overcoming the hardships of history due to our capacity to assimilate the model of the Trinitarian unity.
