ROLUL SPIRITUAL ȘI SOCIAL AL ICOANEI FĂCĂTOARE DE MINUNI A MAICII DOMNULUI DE HÂRBOVĂŢ

Abstract

At the Hârbovăţ monastery was the most important relic of Bessarabia, famous in the Orthodox world, the Miraculous Icon of the Mother of God of Hârbovăţ. This Marian icon had a special impact on the religious sentiment of the population, establishing a special ritual, with the full inclusion of the clergy and laity (including civil and military authorities). The inclusion of the icon in the religious circuit of the county capital generated a substantial impulse in the development of the Hârbovăț monastery.
