In November 1878, a Te Deum was held inside, celebrating victory in the Romanian War of Independence and Northern Dobruja’s annexation to the Old Kingdom. As the church building was deteriorating and the parish lacked repair funds, the local Greek community requested to be taken under Romanian Orthodox jurisdiction. Their petition was approved in 1974. The painting was redone by 1991. Services are held in Romanian and Greek. Since 1954, the church has been listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. (en) |
