THE ARCHIBISHOP ANTIM IVIREANU’S (1708-1716)- INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE ORTHODOX RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVITY
Abstract
A striking mark on the romanian culture was left by a georgian character, Andrei from Iviria, later known under the name of Antim hieromonk, and also in the cultural and religious romanian consciousness, known as Antim Ivireanul the Metropolitan of Țara Românească. Together with this Antim, the ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu managed to perform a vaste missionary work, whichwasn’t limit only at the country territory, but went beyond its borders, heading to Transilvania, Sinai, Jerusalem, Constantinopol, Serbia, Georgia and the Athos Mountain. The present work expresses in a sistematic and objective manner, the activity and the role of the hieromonk, then of the Metropolitan Antim, in the Romanian culture’s development through the interaction between the orthodox spirituality and the innovative creativity of the valachian bishop.
