The Hierarch Pimen Georgescu, also known as the “Metropolitan of War”, in his activity of 25 years as Metropolitan of Iassi, was careful to intervene not only in healing the aftermath of the war - the wounded, sick, orphans, widows, poverty, fear and the list may go on - but was also concerned with the cultural-educational and moral upbringing of the priests and believers of the Metropolitan Church of Moldova. Among the concerns of Metropolitan Pimen, related to the field of Liturgical Theology, I mentioned only a few: the care to have priests ready and aware of the mission to which they have been called, the concern for them to preach on Sundays and holidays, as well as for the fasting of every believer according to their strength, giving dispensation from its keeping when hard times imposed it.
