The Monastery “Exaltation of the Holy Cross” Caraiman is an orthodox monastery, founded in 1998, at the initiative of Most Devout Father Gherontie Puiu.
It is situated on the Prahova Valley in the town Buşteni, at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains, in a glade, which has in its center a fir tree with a unique shape.
Father Gherontie Puiu had a dream about Virgin Mary, when he was sick and hospitalized after a stroke. Virgin Mary told him: “You will find a fir tree with six branches, near a stream, on a realm where you can see the great Cross. Build the monastery there!”
After this dream, father Gherontie Puiu found the indicated place with Virgin Mary’s help, in this wonderful area of Romania, on the Prahova Valley.
The mountains dressed in the honest green of the fir trees were like a fortress, which protected the glade where the monastery was going to be built. The bright colour of the sky induces you a state of peace, and the Cross from the peak of Caraiman is like a messenger of faith, who is looking at the sunny glade.
