The Founder's Icon of the Monastery of Saint Theodosius from Brazi, Vrancea

Saint Theodosius the Martyr, being a pious monk and possessing exceptional intelligence, was chosen as a Bishop and later as Metropolitan. He had great zeal for building holy places, for good order of monastic communities and fatherly care for his flock. He had been imprisoned and tortured before under false accusations but in 1694, a group of scattered Tatars entered the Brazi Monastery and tormented Metropolitan Theodosius terribly to make him give them the treasures and money belonging to the holy place. Because he refused, they killed him by cutting off his venerable head.

Frescoe of Tristan & Isolde in City Hall.

Isolde is commemorated in the placename of the suburb “Chapelizod” which does not mean Lizard’s Chapel as many say, but Seipeil Isoid, “The Chapel of Isolde”.
