Commemoration of Orthodox Saints Hariton and Antim Ivireanul

Overview

The Orthodox Christian calendar commemorates Saint Hariton the Confessor and Saint Antim Ivireanul. Saint Hariton, originally from Iconium, is recognized for his asceticism and survival of persecution under Emperor Aurelian.

Saint Antim Ivireanul, born in Georgia around 1650, is honored for his significant cultural and religious contributions to Wallachia. A theologian, engraver, and printer, he served as the Metropolitan of Wallachia and founded the Antim Monastery in Bucharest. His life concluded with his assassination by Ottoman soldiers following accusations of conspiracy.

On September 27, 2026, the Romanian Orthodox Church held celebrations for the feast day of Saint Antim Ivireanul at his namesake monastery in Bucharest. The services, led by Patriarchal Vicar Bishop Varlaam Ploieșteanul, included the Divine Liturgy and the veneration of relics.
