Biography
[edit]Gligor was born in Ocna Sibiului on 7 June 1929.[1][2] She chose the monastic life at the age of 17, in 1946, initially as a novice either at the Bistrița Monastery or the Horezu Monastery.[3] Starting in 1951, she joined the Tismana Monastery with a group of nuns.[1][2] On 26 December 1958, following the arrest of the previous abbess under false charges brought by the Socialist Republic of Romania, she was elected as the monastery's hegumen.[1][2] She is known for initiating the reconstruction of destroyed churches.[4][5] In 1979, together with the nuns of the monastery, she commissioned a silver reliquary from Romanian artist Gheorghe Stoica to house relics of Nicodemus the Hagiorite, John Chrysostom, and Ignatius of Antioch.[6]
She held this position until 21 May 2010. Gligor died on 21 April 2021.[1][2]
