And the sunflower was introduced in Europe only in the XVI-th century. Yeah, the romanians are cultivating potatoes, corn, sunflovers and tomatoes from the first century.

    Unfortunately a lot of what that lady says is inaccurate. At least she has her centuries mixed up a lot, then there’s no proof of St. Andrew actually being here. Christianity did spread here during the Early Roman period indeed but the rest is made up, there’s no proof of crosses at crossroads in the Ist century AD, nothing like that. It’s true that orthodoxy incorporated a lot of pre-Christian traditions but not necessarily what she says.
    If you are on a discovery of faith journey I recommend you research from better sources. No offense to this family, they are very welcoming but in the monasteries for example (monks and nuns) you will find people who are highly educated in the history of orthodoxy, you might want to speak to them rather.

      @@IaSaVedem Betshaida, on the Sea of Galilee…Jesus didn’t gather his apostles from Dacia my dude. And Dobrogea is possibly a region he passed through but not Dacian territories proper.
      All the sources speaking of St. Andrew’s spread of the gospel are centuries newer (Origenes quoted by Eusebios saying he was in Scythia) and then the Chronicle of Nestor (12th century so over a millenia later) saying that he preached along the Black Sea and the Dnieper towards Kiev and then Novgorod (that didn’t exactly existed as such at the time St. Andrew lived).
      There’s no mention of any Dacia and although it is possible that he visited the Greco-Roman cities along the Black Coast (Callatis, Tomis, Histria) there’s no actual proof of that either. The “St. Andrew made Romania Christian” theory is just a legend. Christianity most likely spread thanks to the trade through the Black Sea ports and later on via the Roman colonists.
      You’re welcome.
      PS I’m actually an archaeologist and worked on Early Roman period sites in Dobrogea so it’s kinda hard to contradict me there. The “facts” that lady presented aren’t facts. Any educated monastery guide or librarian would tell you they aren’t true.
