Skema-nun Elena / Princess Safta Brâncoveanu (+08.08.1857) - a saint to be canonized
Princess Safta Brâncoveanu is known for her philantropic activities. The hospital known as „Brâncovenesc”, situated in the middle of Bucharest, helped the poor for more than 100 years after a well structured program. In 1977 was demolished by dictator Ceaușescu.
The princess, who became skema-nun at Văratec Monastery (Neamț County) pleaded also for the unification of Moldavia and Wallachia, which happened about a half of year after her death. More about her life and activity, here:http://www.preguntasantoral.es/tag/safta-brancoveanu/
