Andrei
December 30th, St. Andrew
Saint Andrew , from the early 1st century – mid
to late 1st century AD, is a Christian Apostle
and the brother of Saint Peter.
St. Andrew spent 20 years on the Dacian
territories preaching and teaching. He felt very
close to the Dacians because they were
monotheists. During that period St.Andrews
traveled around the Danube territories and along
the coast of the Black Sea, but mostly he was
in and around his cave in Dobrogea, in South East
Romania. St. Andrew’s cave is still kept as a holy
place.

3. The first of December 1918 represents, for the Romanian people,
the triumph of centuries of struggle and sacrifices for achieving the national
unitary state. This historical process, taking place on the entire Romanian
area, scored significant developments in the 1784's popular revolts, 1821
and 1848's revolutions, the unification of Moldova with Wallachia (Muntenia)
in 1859, the Proclamation of Independence after the 1877-78 anti-
Ottoman war and was completed with the expression of the self-
determination's will, in Chisinau, Cernautzi and Alba Iulia, during the year
1918, of the Romanians living under foreign domination.
Living in separate States, always threatened by the powerful
neighbors, with parts of its original territory - Transylvania, Bessarabia,
Bucovina, sometimes Dobrogea too - annexed to the three big empires -
Othoman, Habsburgic (later, known as Austro-Hungarian) and Russian, the
Romanians always preserved the philosophy of being part of the same people
and having the same genesis.
