On this occasion, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated at an outdoor altar arranged in the courtyard of the monastery.<\/p>\n

The service was led by Archbishop Casian of the Lower Danube, together with Metropolitan Silouan of Byblos, Botris and dependencies (Patriarchate of Antioch), Bishop Veniamin of Southern Bessarabia, Bishop Qais of Erzurum (Patriarchate of Antioch), Patriarchal Auxiliary Bishops Varlaam of Ploie\u0219ti and Paisie of Sinaia, and Assistant Bishop Timotei of Prahova of the Archdiocese of Bucharest.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaint Sofian, during this period, acquired the practice of the prayer of the heart, under the guidance of Father John Kulygin, a man of holy life who had been formed in the hesychast tradition of Saint Paisius at Optina Monastery.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Confessor, Spiritual Father and Painter<\/h2>\n

Patriarch Daniel sent a message<\/a> for the occasion of the local proclamation of Saint Sofian of Antim. \u201cIn the 20th century, God granted the Romanian people great spiritual luminaries who strengthened the nation in faith through their prayers, deeds and teachings.<\/p>\n

Among these great ascetics is Saint Sofian the Confessor of Antim, who shone in the capital of Romania through his love and gentleness,\u201d His Beatitude said.<\/p>\n

The Patriarch highlighted three major aspects of Saint Sofian\u2019s vocation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn his holy life, we can see three principal works which reveal his spiritual calling: he was a confessor of the faith under an atheist regime, a hesychast spiritual father, and a church painter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feast of the \u201cApostle of Bucharest\u201d<\/h2>\n

Archbishop Casian of the Lower Danube said the local proclamation of Saint Sofian of Antim was a feast of the \u201cApostle of Bucharest,\u201d as the saint was known.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a confessor who never judged anyone, who loved even his tormentors, and who regretted leaving the prison at Balta Br\u0103ilei, saying that he had lost the peace he had there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Archbishop recalled a moment when Saint Sofian urged him to bring peace to the people\u2014but only after first receiving the peace of Christ himself.<\/p>\n

Diplomas and Awards<\/h2>\n

At the conclusion of the service, Archbishop Casian of the Lower Danube presented diplomas and distinctions on behalf of the Patriarch of Romania.<\/p>\n

The Diploma of the Commemorative Year of the Centenary of the Romanian Patriarchate, accompanied by a medal, was awarded to Gheorghe Stan and Nelu P\u0103un for defending the Orthodox faith, promoting culture, and strengthening Christian life.<\/p>\n

Saint Sofian of Antim<\/h2>\n

Saint Sofian (born Serghei Boghiu) was born on October 7, 1912, in Cucone\u0219tii Vechi, B\u0103l\u021bi County, and reposed on September 14, 2002, at Antim Monastery in Bucharest.<\/p>\n

He entered Rughi Monastery in Soroca County in 1926 at the age of 14. He later studied at the chanters\u2019 school of Dobru\u0219a Monastery, at the monastic seminary of Cernica Monastery (1932\u20131940), at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest (1940\u20131945), and at the Faculty of Theology in Bucharest (1942\u20131946).<\/p>\n

He was tonsured a monk at Dobru\u0219a Monastery in 1937 under the name Sofian, ordained a hierodeacon in 1939, and a hieromonk in 1945 for Antim Monastery in Bucharest, where he served as abbot between 1950 and 1955, and again in the last years of his life.<\/p>\n

In 1958, he was arrested with the Burning Bush group and sentenced to 15 years in prison, being released in 1964. He reposed in 2002 and was buried at C\u0103ld\u0103ru\u0219ani Monastery.<\/p>\n
