The Putna Monastery is known as the \u201cJerusalem of the Romanian people.\u201d Kept there are the relics of St. Stephen the Great, one of the most venerated Romanian princes. Stephen the Great ruled from 1457 to 1504 \u2013 the longest reign in the Romanian history. Of all the princes he alone was called Tsar by the Moldavian chronicle. During his reign Stephen the Great won 34 out of 36 battles. To mark each victory he would found a monastery or build a church.<\/p>\n
Putna was the first and most famous abode built by the holy ruler in 1469. His spiritual father, St. Daniel the Hermit, lived in a stone cave two kilometers from the monastery. His cell still attracts numerous pilgrims. For over 500 years Putna has been the most important religious, historical and cultural centre of Romania. Three times \u2013 in 1871, 1904 and 2004 \u2013 it hosted nation-wide celebrations.<\/p>\n
