A cross of almost 10 meters, erected near the highest place in the Republic of Moldova
Ludmila Adam, a member of the family that took the initiative to install the cross, told IPN that the idea appeared last winter.
“My son Roman, lives with his family in Ireland, saw on the internet a video in which a visitor from the village of Bălănești wanted to visit the highest place in the Republic of Moldova and was actually dissatisfied that there was no sign in the village showing the direction to that place. My son, originally from Bălăneşti, felt that video and shared how his family felt. Hearing the incident, my niece, Eva, asked her father if a cross could not be placed there, so that every visitor of the village could see where he should reach, to the highest place in the Republic of Moldova. This summer I visited them in Ireland and my son, Roman, told me about the project to raise the cross, the project I did the other day “, says Ludmila Adam.
On the marble plaque that will be installed on the cross is the inscription: “This holy cross was erected in 2021 at the suggestion of Eve, daughter of Roman Adam, great-granddaughter of Vasile, Constantin Adam, with the support of his next material, as well as other people of good faith ”.
The cross was made in the village of Bălăneşti. Only marble slab is produced and inscribed in a workshop in Chisinau. The place where the raised cross is located is still being arranged and is to be consecrated.
Ludmila Adam specified that the cross is not raised exactly on the highest place in the Republic of Moldova – 429.5 m above sea level, but somewhere 15 meters away, because, to be raised on that place, it needed too many approvals . from Chisinau. However, “of all the options, this was the best.”
Originally from Bălăneşti, who brought him fame in the country and in the world, are the actors Mihai Curagău and Constantin Adam, the doctor Vlad Braşoveanu, especially on liver transplant, who works in Bucharest. In the locality there is a museum dedicated to the writer Grigore Adam.
