Marian devotion
Our Lady of Bucharest
Bucarest, Rumanía
Romanian Catholics venerate the Virgin Mary in the country's capital.
In Bucharest, the capital of Romania, the Cathedral of St. Joseph is the center of the Catholic faith. The Hungarian and German missionaries established devotion in the Middle Ages.
Faith under Communism
Romania suffered decades of communist regime under Ceaușescu. The Catholics were persecuted and their churches destroyed. The Virgin Mary was the mother who comforted them in suffering.
After the 1989 revolution, Catholics rebuilt their churches. The Virgin of Bucharest is the mother who guides you in the recovered freedom.
