Name
The first proposal for a Cathedral dedicated to the "Romanian People's Salvation" arose in 1990. Every Eastern Orthodox church is usually dedicated to a saint, but the cathedral is currently only known for its dedication to the salvation of the Romanian people. Archbishop Bartolomeu Anania explained the name by saying that a nation is not just a "socio-historical reality", but also a "metaphysical, religious and theological reality" and that salvation must be obtained collectively, by the whole nation.
