White Church, Iași

The first church on the site, dedicated to the Nativity of Jesus, was made of wooden beams varnished in white, which gave rise to the nickname.

[2] A restoration took place in 1885, during the reign of Metropolitan Iosif Naniescu, and was financed by parishioners and the city hall.

A cross dedicated to the aviators who died in World War II was set up in the yard in 1975; there is a grave marker from the old cemetery in front of this, but only the year 1841 can be read.

The church collection includes 41 icons donated by Zoița Aramă, who died in 1818.

[2] The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs,[3] having received the designation in 1962.
