Due to wars and the unstable conditions of the time, they abandoned the construction and planned to leave for Mount Athos, known as the Garden of the Mother of God.<\/p>\n<p>However, as they prepared to depart, the Virgin Mary appeared to them in an oak tree and stopped them.<\/p>\n<p>From that oak, where the monks often placed an icon of the Theotokos, she spoke to them:<br \/>\n\u201cDo not go to Mount Athos, for this too is My garden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patriarch Daniel of Romania recalled this event in a <a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/en\/the-mother-of-god-waited-for-her-translation-to-heaven-in-prayer-and-gratitude-patriarch-daniel-on-dormition-of-theotokos\/\">sermon<\/a>, noting that since then, Romania has been called the Garden of the Mother of God.<\/p>\n<p>The monks found a miracle-working icon in the hollow of the oak tree from which the Virgin Mary spoke, and on that site, they built a small wooden chapel.<\/p>\n<h2>Legacy Preserved<\/h2>\n<p>The roots of that oak tree still remain at Bisericani, preserved within a new church consecrated by Patriarch Daniel during his time as Metropolitan of Moldavia and Bukovina on October 3, 1999, marking 500 years since the apparition.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the Virgin Mary herself was the first to declare that Romania is her garden.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Iconographic depiction of \u201cRomania \u2013 Garden of the Mother of God\u201d in the Romanian Settlement Church in Jerusalem \u00a9 Doxologia<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BasilicaNews\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-495171\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"889\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-889x148.gif 889w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1024x171.gif 1024w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-1536x256.gif 1536w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/banner-x-en-2048x341.gif 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Francis in 2019 and Pope John Paul II in 1999 reaffirmed a belief deeply rooted in Romanian tradition since the 15th century: that Romania is the \u201cGarden of the Mother of God.\u201d Few, however, know the origin of this title.
