A little history about Romanian Orthodox Church
The Romanian Orthodox Church was founded 1872 by dint of separation of the orthodox Metropoly of Ungrovalachia and Moldavia from the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. In the same year was constitued the separate synod of the Orthodox Church in Romania.
The Romanian Orthodox Church has been fully autocephalous since 1885 and had its own patriarchy since 1925, its first patriarch being Miron Cristea.
