Easter event is the name of the exhibition event proposed by the Bistriţa-Năsăud Museum Complex a few days before the Resurrection.
“We set out to gather together as many craftsmen as possible who still work in wood. Which preserves the tradition and serenity of the craft of carving wood. Each exhibit has a story full of symbols that deserve to be looked at carefully and understood properly“, explained Gela Neamțu, curator of the exhibition.
Craftsmen from Târlișua, Posmusu, Năsăud, Poiana Ilvei or Sângeorz are gathered here.
Church objects were also brought to light from the museum’s warehouses to remind visitors of the mystery of this celebration.
They exhibit Ciprian Pop (Bistrita), Ovidiu Pop (Poiana Ilvei), Horațiu Dărăban (Sângeorz-Băi) and Călin Baias.
Among the exhibited pieces – two Corpus Christi, discovered in places unexpected. One of them learnUm in the property of Lușca Parish, being discovered “on a hill with beech trees and small, panting steps – in a place where no one expected to be able to discover anything… At Sângeorzu Nou…“, as the priest Crin-Triadafil Theodorescu told.
The second Corpus Christi is Greek-Catholic. “It is an alto relief, placed between the expression in relief and the iconographic expression spequates to the world of the East.
For the Orthodox, Corpus Christi is flat. This Greek-Catholic alto relief is located between the Catholic Basor religion and the Orthodox one. The author is Gavril Morar. He was a sculpture teacher at a vocational school in Năsăud, almost 100 years ago“, explained the priest from Lușca.
The sculpture depicting the Crucifixion also bears the marks of seven ax blows. “She was hit by a young man from a group that passed through the area, about twenty years ago. The young man from that time is Horațiu Dărăban – the one who exhibits, by the way, in the same space, a cross carved according to a Byzantine model from the 11th century. The one who struck the cross is the one who carved the cross. Do you understand the wonder? He had to hit the cross in order to carve it. He had to resist in order to be conquered… This is the Easter miracle. Like any miracle – a play between light and dark, between reason and the inexplicable, between the mystical and the analytical. Shrouded in mystery and a chiaroscuro atmosphere. mthe Easter flood… The miracle of carving a piece of wood…“, the priest Crin-Triandafil Theodorescu testified.
At the opening of the exhibition, there was also an emotional recital by the students of the “Tudor Jarda” High School of Music. Ana-Maria Neamț, Răzvan Simionca, Jesmine Sabo, Nicola Câmpean, Bianca Pușcaș and Alina Roxana Bucur moved those present at the opening to tears.
The students are coordinated by teachers Roxana Costeanu, Ioana Popa and Bianca Vasile.
