    The Chronicle of the Orthodox Church from Băţanii Mari

    In this volume is published the Chronicle of the Orthodox Church from Băţanii Mari,
    between 1925 and 1940, written by the Orthodox priest Ioan Garcea. The volume begins with a
    word of blessing from PS Andrei, Bishop of Covasna and Harghita, a word from the caretakers
    edition, a portrait of the priest Ioan Garcea - an apostle of the Orthodox faith and the Romanian
    people, followed by the article "Romanian Community in BĂŢANI village - monographic
    synthesis ”. The 116 annexes include statistical situations regarding the Romanian Orthodox
    Christians from Bățani parish, between 1919 and 1925, prepared by the author, as well as some
    of his journalistic approaches.
    The documentary value of the chronicle is ensured by the capacity of its author, to
    capture the essential aspects of daily life, to reproduce in a concise form a multitude of
    landmarks of church and secular life of interethnic and interfaith coexistence in the locality and
    in the Baraolt area, the state of mind and the collective mentality of the Romanian and Hungarian
    population. There are disturbing pages about the condition of the Orthodox priest in the parishes
    with few believers, in the multiethnic localities specific to southeastern Transylvania. With an
    accentuated critical spirit, Ioan Garcea convincingly portrays the harmful consequences of the
    political practices of the time, of the corruption and indolence of the soulless people - "living
    dead", as the author calls them. Knowing this “sample” of the Romanian-Hungarian interethnic
    coexistence from the ethnic-mixed localities from Baraolt Basin, Covasna County, by
    extrapolation, we can form a general image about these relations, existing in all similar localities
    from the former Szekler seats, during reference time.
    But above all, above the turmoil of the soul specific to the great consciences, stand out
    the spectacular achievements, true miracles, obtained by Father Ioan Garcea in his work to bring
    back to the ancestral religion of foreign Romanian believers, in his edifying efforts to demolish
    clichés and negative prejudices of Orthodoxy and Romanianness, deeply rooted in the souls of
    the Hungarian inhabitants and of the Hungarianized Romanians, from the former Szekler seats.
    He was a true apostle of the Romanian nation. A beloved pastor of the soul, an excellent
    pedagogue and orator, a good connoisseur of the psychology of the Romanian and Hungarian
    villager from the "Szeklers" and the Romanian, Hungarian, German and other languages. These
    were also the causes of his removal from the parish, during the communist regime, his laborious
    activity in the land of the Orthodox faith and of the Romanian culture, during the time of Greater
    Romania, not being forgiven.
    Even if a large part of his efforts were destroyed by the dramas experienced by the
    Romanian faithful in the area, after the Vienna Dictate and then, during the Hungarian
    Autonomous Region, the memory of a model Orthodox priest and Romanian patriotic
    intellectual remains, remains this chronicle which transmits to future generations a page of the
    history of the Orthodox Church and the Romanian people in southeastern Transylvania, and
    leaves a ray of light on the development of the controversial interwar project of bringing back the
    Hungarianized Romanians.
    123 years after his birth, in Augustin village, Brașov county and on the 43 rd anniversary
    of the passing into eternity, in Brașov, of this true “apostle from the heart of the Intracarpathian
    Arch”, the moral portrait is brought back in the Romanian public space of a distinguished
    intellectual, officer, priest, community leader and Romanian patriot, from the 20th century, model
    for the young generation and for future generations, together with the other colleagues in the
    area, builders of the "Great Union" from December 1, 1918.
