From the Neapolis founded by Greek settlers in 470 B.C. to the city of today, Naples has retained the imprint of the successive cultures that emerged in Europe and the Mediterranean basin. This makes it a unique site, with a wealth of outstanding monuments such as the Church of Santa Chiara and the Castel Nuovo.
 The World Heritage property of the Historic Centre of Naples includes all the essential elements that contribute to the justification of its Outstanding Universal Value. These comprise the historic centre as defined by the Aragonese walls, as well as significant elements from the 18th century, including important palaces, as well as buildings for governmental, residential, university, health and sanitary, and arts and crafts functions. These buildings and functions represent all the relevant periods of the history of Naples, and are in a fair state of conservation. The important historical relationship of the city to the sea is maintained through the preservation of archaeological remains of the Roman period along the sea coast and the rehabilitation of the small boat harbours found from Castel Nuovo to Capo Posillipo. 

Walking along the metro platforms you will admire the replicas of the Parthenon friezecreated by the great sculptor Pheidias. The main subject of the frieze is the procession of Panathinaea, the city’s most important festival in honour of the goddess Athena. Young riders proceeding at a galloping pace or preparing themselves for the grand procession will keep you company while you are waiting for the next train.

On November 8, 1796, the wooden church dedicated to St. Demetrius, hidden as the village under the forest, in the secrets of the valleys raised by Ioan Căluşarul, Neagoe and Dinu Mondescu, is mentioned in the archive.

In 1823, we find Dinu Babalau and Diaconu Ghiorghe (Catastif 1823) at the Stoina church. Among the first priests of these places was Barbu Bondoc, nephew and revolutionary in Tudor Vladimirescu's army in 1821, fleeing these lands to escape the persecution against the revolutionaries after Tudor's defeat, being shown to be the first citizen of the new church and what it means that he served until 1864 in a hidden church as well as the village beneath the hill. Subsequently, the cross of the priest was lifted from the old cemetery by Ionel Bondoc (cismar) and brought to the new one.

1852 is the beginning of the beginning of the new church, due to the fact that Mr. Ioan Cuza ordered people to leave the old dwellings, to create the villages and to bring them "on the line", during which a new church was certainly raised 1855 were about 110 properties).

They are left in places deserted with their names, dwelling places like, for example, Bordeia lui Şandru, Achim's bay, the mall of Dana (this is said to be a strong and old woman who killed a tatar invader), the old cemeteries in the valley to the left of the road leading to the vineyard and the other to about 100 meters from the crossroads of Stoina-Hill to Ulareasa, on the left), proof being the old stone crosses that were later found.

            He was a schoolboy in Batatati, a teacher who was himself the church singer, a young man brought by the priest from Hoaba, who gave him the name of Hobeanu after his home town (Ohaba).

Another priest was Ion Mihăescu from Păişani, a true apostle of Christ for the grace with which he served and the authority he had in the village, following him by the priests Chircu and Şerban from Ulăreasa, the latter himself working his lot of the earth, motivating that he can not properly appreciate the work of another man. In 1901 we meet Parlor Ciorari (the Ciorari and Stoina churches) the priest Nicolae Popescu (1880-1963) who served until 1952 with the singers Iosif Barbuleanu (Fiză) and Ilie Popescu (Luţă). In 1935-1936, during the priest Nicolae Popescu was built on the foundation of the holy church of the old wood in the days of Charles II and under the pastoral P.S.-D.D. Vartolomeu of Râmnic and New Severin, being sanctified on October 31, 1936.

Starting with 1932, religion was taught by Stoina and Ciorari schools by priest Nicolae Popescu, and in Păişani by priest Ioan Nicolaescu, teaching which stopped in 1948 when the icons on the class walls were forbidden, and since 1990, after the revolution, began to teach religion in schools to this day.

From 1963 he was named priest Ioan Ştefan from Slăvuţa, followed by his son, Demostene Ştefan, priest and then priests Roman Gheorghe and Roman Ion, until 2003.

In 2004, during the priest Daniel Ioana, the church was completely renovated (new painting on the exterior walls, the cover was changed and all the interior paint was washed), being reshaped by P.S. Gurie Gorjanul on 31 October 2004.

The church is located about one kilometer north of the center of the commune, which is crossed by the county road Craiova-Hurezani.

By the will of the Father, with the help of the Son and with the completion of the Holy Spirit, we all should carry away the Orthodox faith, honor the church, and respect for all of its benefactors. So help the good God! Amen!

 

During the classical era, several independent kingdoms became established in what is now Georgia, such as Colchis and Iberia. The Georgians adopted Christianity in the early 4th century. A unified Kingdom of Georgiareached the peak of its political and economic strength during the reign of King David IV and Queen Tamar in the 12th and early 13th centuries. Thereafter, the kingdom declined and eventually disintegrated under hegemony of various regional powers, including the Mongols, the Ottoman Empire, and successive dynasties of Iran. In the late 18th century, the eastern Georgian Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti forged an alliance with the Russian Empire, which directly annexed the kingdom in 1801 and conquered the western Kingdom of Imereti in 1810. Russian rule over Georgia was eventually acknowledged in various peace treaties with Iran and the Ottomans and the remaining Georgian territories were absorbed by the Russian Empire in a piecemeal fashion in the course of the 19th century. During the Civil War following the Russian Revolution in 1917, Georgia briefly became part of the Transcaucasian Federation and then emerged as an independent republic before the Red Army invasion in 1921 which established a government of workers' and peasants' soviets. Soviet Georgia would be incorporated into a new Transcaucasian Federation which in 1922 would be a founding republic of the Soviet Union. In 1936, the Transcaucasian Federation was dissolved and Georgia emerged as a Union Republic. During the Great Patriotic War, almost 700,000 Georgians fought in the Red Army against the German invaders who sought its oil fields. After Soviet leader Josef Stalin, a native Georgian, died in 1953, a wave of protest spread against Nikita Khrushchev and his de-Stalinization reforms, leading to the death of nearly one hundred students in 1956. From that time on, Georgia would become marred with blatant corruption and increased alienation of the government from the people.

By the 1980s, Georgians were ready to abandon the existing system altogether. A pro-independence movement led to the secession from the Soviet Union in April 1991. For most of the following decade, post-SovietGeorgia suffered from civil conflicts, secessionist wars in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and economic crisis. Following the bloodless Rose Revolution in 2003, Georgia strongly pursued a pro-Western foreign policy; aimed at NATO and European integration, it introduced a series of democratic and economic reforms. This brought about mixed results, but strengthened state institutions. The country's Western orientation soon led to the worsening of relations with Russia, culminating in the brief Russo-Georgian War in August 2008 and Georgia's current territorial dispute with Russia.

Georgia is a member of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development. It contains two de facto independent regions, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which gained very limited international recognition after the 2008 Russo-Georgian War. Georgia and most of the world's countries consider the regions to be Georgian territory under Russian occupation
