The cave of Saint Andrew – the Bethlehem of Romanians
Few things are known about the cave of Saint Andrew the Apostle. It was discovered in 1918 by Jean Dinu, a lawyer, who, after dreaming one night, came in this area and found the cave in an advanced state of degradation. After cleaning the vegetation, he built a couple of cells and the first monks came in a short time.

Pestera Sfantului Andrei – Bethleem-ul romanilor
Putine lucruri sunt cunoscute despre pestera Sfantului Apostol Andrei. A fost descoperita in 1918 de Jean Dinu, un avocat, care, in urma unui vis avut intr-o noapte, a venit in acest loc si a descoperit pestera intr-o stare avansata de degradare.

Pestera a fost sanctificata in 1943 dar in timpul perioadei comuniste a fost distrusa si transformata in adapost pentru animale.
