Toma Cozma Church in IaÅŸi, important historical monument built in 1807, on the west side of „Muntenimii†hill (later „Păcurarilor slamsâ€) by the ban Toma Cozma and his wife Ecaterina, it has two patrons: „Saint Apostle Toma†(The main patron – celebrated on the Sunday of Toma) and „Saint Martyr Ecaterina†(The second patron – November, 25th), corresponding to the names of the two main founders of the holy dwelling. To these two founders another benefactor joined, namely Maria Apostol Anastasiu Ketreanca, the widow of a Greek descending from a monks’ family, Apostle Anastasiu, as it results from the inscription on the western wall of the church.
