Sihastria Putnei in USA, Dragos Lumpan

Monastic Life

A special photo exhibit “The Monastic Life” will be shown November 1 to November 30 at Cathedral Church St. John the Divine (1047 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan). The subject is taken from daily life of monks at the Sihastria Putnei in northern Moldavia, Romania.
“The monastery was rebuilt in recent years at the site of an early 500-year-old monastery,” says Lumpan. “I was fortunate to be able to live among the monks for about 3 weeks during the Easter Period.” His incisive photo studies capture the many moods and work habits of the thirty monks and ten trainees. The strong images in large format (4 feet x 3 feet) b&w prints on light canvas are the work of Dragos Lumpan of Bucharest, Romania. He is noted for his international work and published work in National Geographic Magazine. The exhibit, which is touring several sites in the US including Boston College, Dartmouth College, and locations in Washington DC, and San Francisco, is open to the public. It is sponsored by the Romanian Cultural Institute.

    The monks are called upon to pray for the hole world ,and this is their main service to humanity .Thanks to them ,preyer is never ended upon earth ,and this is indeed the great service ,for it is only through prayer that humanity endures.Mi-ar placea sa -mi procur si eu acest album de fotografii cu cei care au ”murit pentru lume dar se inalta spre Hristos” .Viata monahala este o anticipare a vietii vesnice ,este o imagine concreta al idealului pe care Evanghelia il arata idealul desavarsirii.Din aceasta cauza viata monahala se numeste viata ingereasca. Sa le multumim acestori ingeri pamanteni pentru rugile pe care le inalta pentru noi!

    R: Mesajele Dvs. le gasesc intotdeauna in categoria “spam”. V-am scris si mail si v-am precizat ca terminatia mailului Dvs. nu este “…@yahoo.com.uk”, ci “@yahoo.co.uk”. Sper ca macar acum mesajul meu sa ajunga la Dvs. In Hristos,

    Va multumim, domnule Laurentiu Dumitru, pentru prezenta noastra in blogroll-ul dv.

    Si noi “v-am observat” si v-am inclus în catalogul nostru publicitar, cf.
    http://bastrix.wordpress.com/catalogul-paginilor-publicitate/

    E un pas mic, dar esential, pentru ca teologii romani tineri sa se poata observa mai atent si mai delicat.

    Va dorim toate cele bune!

    R: Cu mare drag, placere si sincera bucurie (in ciuda poticnelilor de mai ieri, inca nelamurite). Multumesc pentru postarea linkului catre blogul meu. In Hristos,
    Laurentiu
