Iasi city The monastery covered in gold Three Hierarchies - Manastirea Sfintii Trei Ierarhi

Uploaded by TheMistAnchorite on Dec 10, 2010
The monastery together with the Church of the Three Hierarchs is considered to be the most beautiful foundation of the ruler Vasile Lupu and, at the same time, an architectonic jewel of the city of Iasi. The religious dwelling was built between 1637 -- 1639 and it was consecrated by the Metropolitan Bishop Varlaam on the 6th oh May, 1639. This monastery was at its origins covered in GOLD, but it was burned down by the turks, and the gold melted, although there are some small fragments of gold still remaining.
The value of mondial singularity is given by the external decoration, an embroidery of rocks, from the bottom up to the eaves' cornices.
On the northern side of the pronaos there are two niches sheltering the bones of the family of the ruler Vasile Lupu, and on the southern side rest the bones of the rulers Dimitrie Cantemir (1710-1711) and Alexandru Ioan Cuza (1859-1866). It's on this same niche that in 1641 were deposited the relics of Saint Parascheva, having as day of celebration the 14th of October, and in 1889 these were moved in the Metropolitan Cathedral.
By the end of the nineteenth century, the church was restored from the foundation, under the surveillance of the architect André Lecomte de Nouy. The paintings, the catapetasma and the furniture in massive bronze were executed on the expense of King Carol the Ist.

@sevag1974 well this church, has 28 different architectural styles in the World, in her past, it was all covered in gold, that people, couldn t look at it, because it shined very hard. At the time it was built, Iasi city was the 4 th Rome, or Moldova the new Byzantium for a small perioud of time.
