Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the social and religious events in the Romanian society of 1977, and the way in whichthe Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR) succeeded in managing them. The 70s in the Romanian societywere characterised by authoritarianism, which was felt in all social spheres. And the Romanian OrthodoxChurch was not exempted from this. In 1977 there were several events that marked the Romanian societyand the Romanian Orthodox Church. After the death of Patriarch Justinian Marina, the new Patriarch wasenthroned - Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church Iustin Moisescu. Alongside these two importantevents for the Romanian Orthodox Church, another event in 1977 was the celebration of a century ofRomania's independence, since 1877. In addition to al of these events, we should also recall theearthquake of the evening of 4 March 1977, which left deep traces in the souls of the Romanians, event inwhich the BOR was also involved.
