Summary/Abstract: The Centenary of the Romanian Orthodox Church's acquisition of Patriarchate status is an excellent inspiration for exploring the bilateral relations between the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church and the Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate. It is worth noting that the Romanian Patriarchate was one of the few to delegate a representative to Warsaw for the ceremony of proclaiming autocephaly in 1925. From that moment, there was a noticeable intensification of official mutual church visits, led by the state-church visit of Patriarch and Prime Minister of Romania Miron, who was considered a great friend of Poland. The visits of the Metropolitans of Warsaw and all of Poland, Dionysius, Basil, and Sava, were received with equal respect by the Romanian side. Patriarchs Justin (a professor at the University of Warsaw), Teoctist, and Daniel also maintained close contacts with Poland. The exchange of theology students also played a significant role in the bilateral ecclesiastical relations between both Churches.
