Not only the Voronet monastery has beautiful paintings. Also
the monastery of Moldovita has stunning paintings.
Moldovita dates from 1532; around 50 years later then Voronet. The paintings date from 1537; so just a few years later then Voronet.
One of the most interesting paintings is the large mural
about the siege of Constantinople . In fact it
refers to two sieges; one is the siege in 1453 and the other an earlier one by
the Persians. The Romanians wanted the help of the Virgin Mary fight off the Ottoman
oppression.
The“Tree of Jesse”.
I didn’t take
pictures of the porch because there was a lot of scaffolding. It is a never
ending job to take care of this important heritage.
Sadly there are always people who want to put their names everywhere.
