Preceding Structures
The first church that is know was made of wood, but it was pulled down in the 19th century.
Another church made of stone that can be seen nowadays was built by a feudal lord, Gheorghe Berevoii, from Govãjdia (a neighboring village) in 1770, to thank God for having healed his wife. The church is Orthodox, although the feudal lord was a Calvinist, and has an outstandingly beautiful painting: There are scene from Passion Week and portraying the soldiers that insulted Christ, wearing the clothes of the people who had oppressed the Romanians from Transylvannia.

Famous quotes containing the words preceding and/or structures:
“... it must be obvious that in the agitation preceding the enactment of [protective] laws the zeal of the reformers would be second to the zeal of the highly paid night-workers who are anxious to hold their trade against an invasion of skilled women. To this sort of interference with her working life the modern woman can have but one attitude: I am not a child.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
