Why visit Voronet Monastery from Bucovina Romania?

At the advised of Danil of Voronet, Stephen the Great and Saint bulid the Voronet Monastery in just 3 weeks, in the year 1488. From the onset, the monastery was blessed with monks of a great spiritual standing, and it was a real Lavra of the Romanian monastic life at the time of St Pious Daniil the Hermit. The monastic life was broken in 1875, after Bucovina’s annexation to the Habsburg Empire and it was resumed on 1 April 1991.

The exterior painting

The exterior painting of Voronet Monastery was done by the Grigorie Rosca and a group of anonymous painter monks.

The southern wall is covered by The Stem of Jesse. By the entrance, there are the portraits of the builders of the monastic life: St Daniil the Hermit and metropolitan Grigorie Roasca. On the apses, according to tradition, there is the Cin, that rallies tens of figures in procession. On what was left of the northern wall unwashed by rains, Adam is plugging, Eve is spinning wool (The Making of the World), whereas The deed of Adam and The Sky Tools signify folklore legends. The arm chairs and a part of the pews belong to the 16th century. A gift from Stephen the Great, skillfully rung, the two bells conjure up the great prince’s name. An artistic expression of our right faith, of our nation’s refinement and taste for beautiful, the holy Monastery of Voronet urges to meditation, charms the heart and spirit of the visitors come here from all over the world.

The whole western wall is covered by the scene of The Final Judgement. The artist’s originality lays also in his courage to introduce into the scene Moldavian musical instruments(the bucium/ approx. alpenhorn/, cobzã/ ten-chorded guitar/), local landscape, napkins, national attire – everything against a blue background that produced the Voronet blue phrase, which is equal to the Veronese green and Titian red.

The interior painting.

The nave and shrine retain the iconographic ensemble from the time of Stephen the Great; well adjusted to the space, harmonious, with impressive characters, a scenic arrangement less usual in Moldavia (The Passions of Jesus, in the nave), matchless compositions impressing by sobriety, vigorous gestures and forms (Entrance in Jerusalem, Prayer on the Mount of Olives, in the shell), elements betraying the closeness to the real, human pathetic environment (Descent from the Cross, St Theodore, the Votive Picture). The bema painting, produced later, alternates ornaments and figures which seem intended to connect it to the outside, passing through the porch, where the church’s Calendar, but especially St. Elijah, evince crude freshness, with a humorous shade which, in a way, herald the Transylvanian glass icons (18th – 19th centuries).

The arhitecture

Nowadays you can see the original form of Voronet Monastery only in the votive picture. placed on a stone pedestal, with the tower rising from a square base which enhances its slender shape, its thrust unto the sky. In the year 1547, Bishop Grigore Rosca who is considered to be the second founder of the Voronet Monastery, added the exonarthex. Voronet, the way it looks today, is one of the first Moldavian monuments that created their own style.
