  Abstract:   Servants of our Ancient Church Refugees in the Romanian Orthodox Vicarship of Alba Iulia (1940 – 1945). In a study that we published not very long ago, we showed that, after the Dictate of Viena (from the 30th of August of 1940), eight districts of archbishop remained under the Hungarian domination, and a part approximately equal to the first one, formed by the clergymen and the believers of 10 districts of archbishop, continued in Romania, for the last 10 districts of archbishop, the Bishop Nicolae Colan of Cluj (1936 – 1957) founded a Romanian Orthodox Vicarship in Alba Iulia on the 6th of September of 1940 (by the Decision no. 5414 / 1940), who functioned until the spring of 1945 with a Vicarship Council, which was under the direct confessional subordination of the hierarch of Cluj.
   The cruel historical conditions of the above mentioned period (1940 – 1945) made that numerous Romanian Orthodox clergymen and believers from the occupied part of Transylvania, from Moldavia, Basarabia, Bucovina and even Transnistria, refuge within the “boundaries” of the Romanian Orthodox Vicarship of Alba Iulia, in order to survive; thus, in the following study, on the grounds of the Minutes of the respective Vicarship, we identified a significant number of servants of our Church from the Romanian counties (for now, 134 persons).
