Manastirea Sfintei Cruci (Oradea) - Holy Cross Monastery (Oradea)
Manastirea Sfintei Cruci a luat fiinta in anul 1992, amplasata la doi km distanta de orasul Oradea, intr-un loc unde inainte de aceasta data nu exista nici o asezare, in scurt timp s-a ridicat un adevarat complex monahal.
Prima biserica a manastirii a fost o bisericuta de lemn, datand de la inceputul secolului al XVIII-lea, monument istoric. A fost adusa din satul Corbesti, judetul Bihor intr-o stare de degradare avansata, insa s-a reusit reconstituirea ei astfel ca si-a redobandit stralucirea de altadata.
In anul 1994, s-a pus piatra de temelie a bisericii de zid, care practic constituie centrul complexului monahal. Biserica, construita in plan triconc, prezinta fresca atat interior cat si exterior, cu pictura bizantina, culorile folosite fiind in cea mai mare parte culori naturale. Prezenta picturii exterioare, care acopera in intregime edificiul, ii confera unicitate in Transilvania, realizeaza un arc in timp si spatiu intre viata monahala actuala din aceasta parte a tarii si cea de odinioara, din spatiul moldav, considerat ca o adevarata pepiniera a vietii monahale romanesti.
In doar cativa ani obstea manastirii a sporit impresionant, in prezent numarand 80 de vietuitoare, in fruntea carora se afla maica stareta, Stavrofora Mina Badila si parintele duhovnic Protosinghel Atanasie Paleu, cei care vegheaza la respectarea bunelor randuieli statornicite prin canoanele sfintilor parinti.
Desi aflata la inceput de drum manastirea are cateva ateliere:
- atelierul de croitorie+broderie, unde se executa vesminte preotesti cu divese modele de broderie
- atelierul de pictura - icoane bizantine pe panza sau lemn.
Holy Cross Monastery was founded in 1992, located two km from the city of Oradea, in a place before this date there is no settlement, it quickly rose a real monastic complex.
The first church of the monastery was a wooden church, dating from the early eighteenth century, a historical monument. Corbesti was brought from the village, Bihor county in an advanced state of decay, but we managed rebuild them so that he regained shine of old. In 1994, he laid the foundation stone of the church wall, which is practically the center of the monastic complex. The church, built in triconch plan, shows both indoor and outdoor frescoes, Byzantine painting, the colors used are mostly in natural colors. This painting outside, covering the entire building, gives uniqueness in Transylvania, made a bow in time and space between the current monastic life in this part of the country and the old, the Moldovan space, considered as a real nursery Romanian monastic life .
In a few years the congregation has increased impressively monastery, now counting 80 creatures, is headed by Mother Superior, and father confessor Stavrofora Mina Badila and Protosingelos Paleu Athanasius, who guard the observance of the holy canons of good ordinances settled by parents.
Although located at the beginning the monastery has several workshops: - Embroidery sewing workshop, where the divas perform priestly garments embroidery patterns - Painting workshop - Byzantine icons on canvas or wood.

Intalnire "Prietenii Panoramio Romania" / Cheile Dobrogei - "Friends of Panoramio Romania" meeting / Dobrogea Gorges
Intalnirea “Prietenilor Panoramio Romania” de la Cheile Dobrogei s-a desfasurat la initiativa Liei si a lui Gabriel, in perioada 19-21 Nov 2010. Ei au propus ca oricine doreste sa participe la o sedinta de fotografiat in natura poate veni la curba mare din Cheile Dobrogei, sambata 20 Nov ora 10. Au raspuns afirmativ urmatorii: Lia, Stelu, Gabriel, Simona, Gabi, Estrela, Dana, Leontina, Bianca, Kika, Viorica si subsemnatul.
Vremea nu promitea prea mult, la ora 10 era putina ceata si cerul acoperit dar nu ne-am pierdut speranta. Asa ca am tras aer in piept si am pornit la colindat minunatele Chei ale Dobrogei.
Dobrogea Gorges
Dupa numai 30 de minute, ceata s-a ridicat, norii s-au imprastiat si a iesit soarele! Iar ziua a devenit superba! Soarele, voia buna si…Dintisor (mascota noastra ad-hoc) ne-au insotit pe tot parcursul zilei.
Little Tooth
Am avut noroc de lumina buna asa ca am putut face o multime de fotografii frumoase. Cheile ne-au impresionat pe toti, si pe cei care le mai vazusera si pe cei care nu.
Dupa parcurgerea lor de la un capat la celalalt pe jos, ne-am urcat in masini si am mers la Manastirea Sfantul Ioan Casian, ctitorita in anul 2006, din apropiere.
Casimcea valley
Aici am vizitat si Pestera Sfantului Ioan Casian, pestera ce se deschide intr-un perete stancos deasupra vaii Casimcea. Peisajele sunt spectaculoase si va recomand cu caldura o vizita pe acele plaiuri dobrogene!
Dupa-amiaza am plecat spre statiunea Mamaia unde am luat masa la restaurant, am vazut fotografiile si unde am stat de vorba pana seara.
The Black Sea coast
At the restaurant
A 2-a zi dimineata ne-am intalnit la acelasi restaurant, am baut o cafeluta si am plecat spre Tulcea ca sa vedem acvariul din oras. Ajunsi acolo am fost cu totii impresionati de frumusetea acestuia. Centrul Muzeal Eco-Turistic Delta Dunarii prezinta elemente specific zonei. Alaturi de acvariile cu diverse specii de pesti, corali si alte organisme acvatice, acesta mai reconstituie habitatele naturale specifice deltei si a unei cherhanale traditionale.
De la Tulcea am plecat spre cetatea Capidava situata pe malul Dunarii.
Capidava Fortress
Si aici am facut o multime de fotografii dupa care am pornit spre Cernavoda la “apa calda”. De fapt e canalul de apa care vine de la Centrala atomoelectrica de la Cernavoda, canal care se scurge in Dunare printr-o impresionanta cadere (prin debit si forta) de apa.
"Hot water"
Si aici am facut fotografii cu toate ca se insera si lumina nu mai era chiar asa de buna.
Apoi ne-am luat la revedere si am plecat spre casele noastre, cu promisiunea ferma de a mai vizita impreuna acele locuri pline de farmec!
Meeting of "Friends of Panoramio Romania" (from Dobrogea Gorges) was held at Lia’s and Gabriel's initiative, between 19 to 21 November 2010. They proposed that anyone who wants to attend a photo session in nature can come Dobrogea Gorges at large curve, Saturday 20 November 10AM . They replied in the affirmative the following: Lia Stelu, Gabriel, Sarah, Gabriel, Estrela, Dana, Leontina, Bianca, Kika, Viorica and myself.
The weather is not promising too much, at 10AM was a little fog and the sky covered but we have not lost hope. So I breathed in and started wandering the beautiful gorges of Dobrogea. After only 30 minutes, the fog has lifted, the clouds have dispersed and the sun came out! And now beautiful day! Sun, mirth and Little Tooth ... (our mascot) accompanied us throughout the day. We was lucky to have good light so we do a lot of beautiful pictures. Keys impressed us all, and those who had seen them and those who do not.
After passing them from the entire length by the foot, we got in the car and went to the Monastery of St. John Cassian, founded in 2006, nearby. Here we visited the Cave of St. John Cassian, the cave opens into a rocky wall above the Casimcea valley. The landscapes are spectacular and I highly recommend a visit on those Dobrogea’s lands!
In the afternoon we went to the Mamaia resort where we had lunch at the restaurant where I've seen photos and talked until evening.
A 2-day morning we met at the same restaurant, we drank coffee and went to Tulcea to see the aquarium in town. Once there we were all impressed by its beauty. The Eco-Tourism Center Museum Danube Delta area shows the specific elements. Along with various species of aquarium fish, coral and other aquatic organisms, it reconstructs the natural habitats of the Delta area and a traditional “cherhana”.
From Tulcea we went to Capidava, the fortress situated on the Danube coast. And here we made a lot of shots and then we went to the Cernavoda to "hot water". The fact is the channel of water that comes from atomoelectric center at Cernavoda, which flows into the Danube channel through an impressive fall (debit and strength) of water. And here we took pictures but the light was not quite so good.
Then we said goodbye and went to our homes, promising to also visit together those places full of charm!
