2. Iaşi Feast
Iasi becomes the place for the Romanian
Orthodoxy every year, for a week in the
middle of October.
Thousands of worshippers and pilgrims
come from all over the country to Iasi to
celebrate Saint Parascheva around 14th
October . They also come from Moldavia,
Russia, Greece and Bulgaria.
The 14th of October has become a special
holiday in Iasi since 1641, when the relics of
Saint Parascheva were brought from
Constantinople.
The four centuries that passed have done
nothing but intensified the people’s awe
towards Saint Parascheva, so that its
holiday produces one of the greatest
Orthodox pilgrimages
