Dragomiresti: Manastirea Sf. Ilie
The Dragomiresti Monastery is a monastic complex where five monks come from Salaj, Bistrita Nasaud, Satu Mare and Maramures. It was re-established in 1990.
At Dragomiresti Monastery there are pilgrimage days on March 25, when the "Spring of Tamaduirii" is celebrated, and during the two days of the feast (July 20 and September 8).
The first old wooden church was built in the 18th century (1722) and moved to the Herastrau Museum - Bucharest. The new church (the second) was built as a monastery hearth in the place called "Valea Prihodistii" by the monk Pimen Moldovan between 1926 and 1927, but it was burned in 1949. A third wooden church, the present one, was erected at "Arinii Runcului "In the hearth of the locality, through the oath of the priest Nutu Codrea and the citizens, between 1951 and 1957. A monastic community (1990), hieromonked by Sofronie Perta from Toplita Monastery, is formed around this church.
Architecture and decorations are simples and the church is unprimed. The chapel house is built in 1993 and the 17th century wood icon of the Virgin Mary and Child was discovered in the ash of the 1949 fire, considered to be wondrous.
