| Additional information |
Miron Cristea served simultaneously as Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church and, from 1938, as Prime Minister under King Carol II's royal dictatorship — an overlap of ecclesiastical and executive authority with few parallels in 20th-century European governance. He died in office in March 1939, having held the patriarchal throne since its creation in 1925.
This 2010 issue marks the 85th anniversary of the Romanian Patriarchate's establishment.
