The new paintings (in fresco and ceramics) have
been made between 1951 and 1953. The church is also provided with exterior iconography,
consisting of ceramics frescoes on the outside of the
church, whose execution was owed to the Patriarch Justinian.
The monastery has a collection of liturgical art objects and
of ancient religious manuscripts, which have been collected
from the Ilfov and Giurgiu Archpriest Administration
Headquarters. In the churchyard there were interred the
following personalities: Alexander Beldiman (the founder of
the Adevarul newspaper), the mother of the national hero
Walter Maracineanu, Frosa Sarandi (one of the first
stage-actresses of Romania), and Sophia Heliade, Ion Heliade
Radulescu's daughter (who took religious vows here and after
wards became an abbess).
A workshop for manufacturing icon frames is also functioned
here. |
