Summary/Abstract: In the 20th century, the Romanian Orthodox Church went through times of hardship, especially during the communist period, marked by a materialistic and atheistic perspective on the world. Many priests were arrested, and ecclesiastical activity was reduced to the liturgical dimension. In this context, the Church sought ways to continue its mission of preaching the Word of God, despite the restrictive conditions. In this text, we present some actions through which the communist regime affected parish life in the Năsăud area during the years 1950-1960.
