TOMA COZMA Parish
Knowing our past,
we faithfully look towards the future.
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.
