CONTRIBUŢII DOCUMENTARE REFERITOARE LA CONSTRUIREA ŞI FUNCȚIONAREA CATEDRALEI ORTODOXE „SF. IERARH NICOLAE” ȘI „SF. MARE MUCENIC GHEORGHE”, DIN MUNICIPIUL SF. GHEORGHE, JUD. COVASNA, ÎN TIMPUL REGIMULUI COMUNIST (1945–1983)

Abstract

Capitalizing on the documents from the secular and church archives, the present article presents an almost unique case, namely an Orthodox church built, but unfinished, in the city of Sfântu Gheorghe, Covasna county, a city with a majority ethnic Hungarian population. It resisted the pressures of the Horthyst and Communist regimes, and thus in 1983, 45 years after the foundation stone was laid, it was completed, with the approval of the local and central Communist leaders.
