About
What is known today as the Nechit Monastery was, at the beginning, a place of retreat for monks who wanted to perfect their union with Christ.
As the name suggests, the first inhabitant of these lands was Nichita the Hermit. He was followed by a host of other hermits whose names inspired the entire toponymy of the place: Samson's stream, Jacob's river, the springs of Saint Chiriac.
Almost 800 years later, God's providence fulfills with the old Zenovie Ghidescu the prophecy of his great-grandmother: "If something happens to you, go to the foundation of our nation, to Nechit." And so we get a little closer to the way the monastery looks today...
