The religion of the majority of the population is 
#Orthodox.
Other Christian denominations present in 
#Romania include 
#Catholic, #GreekCatholic, and various #Protestant ones.
There are also some other minority religions, including 
#Judaism, 
#Islam, and 
#Buddhism, which are practiced by small communities within the country.
"[T]he #Jewish #Orthodox #Feminist Alliance (JOFA #Australia) is hosting an inaugural #writers’ retreat in the Yarra Valley from May 23-25, offering aspiring #women writers the chance to connect with like-minded individuals, and foster their creative and spiritual growth.
This is the first time that a writers’ weekend of this nature has been held in Australia, and we are so pleased to be able to support women to create works of #Torah related to women’s #health, encompassing mental, spiritual and physical health,” said JOFA Australia president Nomi Kaltmann."

“Yeshiva University (YU), the private #Orthodox #Jewish #university with four campuses in #NewYork City, said on Thursday that it would recognize an #LGBTQ+ student club on campus.” #USA https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/after-years-of-refusal-jewish-university-finally-allows-new-lgbtq-club-on-campus/
Soft candlelight from real candles illuminated the dim environment in Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church, the first Serbian Orthodox Church in Ljubljana Slovenia. The warm glow created a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

"#Yeshiva #University has approved a new club for #LGBTQ #students, reversing a policy that it has spent years defending in court.
The school’s announcement on Thursday marks a significant shift for the Modern #Orthodox flagship in #Manhattan. For years, and particularly during a stretch of fall 2022, the school fought to avoid recognizing the Pride Alliance, a support group for LGBTQ students that launched unofficially in 2009 but had not received formal recognition as a #student #club."
#Russia is one of the least #religious countries in the world. #Church attendance is low, and many #Russians identify as #Orthodox in name only, without actively practicing their faith. The state promotes Orthodoxy as a cultural tool, not a true religious revival.

The #Orthodox Church is also a #weapon for controlling #religious groups, and priests who speak out against the war or the government are harassed or excommunicated. For example, Archpriest Andrei #Kordochkin was suspended from service for his pacifist positions.

#Russia claims to be the last bastion of #Christian tradition, but its history tells a different story. For decades, it has #persecuted religious groups, tortured, imprisoned and murdered #clergymen, bombed churches, and used the #Orthodox Church as a state tool.

"As one of the few #women #ordained as #orthodox #rabbis, and one of even fewer who run a #shul, I’m always on the lookout for news of attitudes in the orthodox community towards women’s roles in the #synagogue.
An #Israeli colleague recently shared a new survey, whose context is the dati leumi religious nationalist community in #Israel, but nevertheless bears parallels with our #UK context."

![The image displays a detailed colored postcard showing the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral, located in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The cathedral is characterized by its vivid green onion-shaped domes with golden tips and intricate architectural details. Surrounding the main structure are smaller buildings that complement its grandeur, including what appears to be an archway entrance on one side.
In front of St. Basil's Cathedral, a small circular pond or fountain can be seen at the forefront, adding to the overall urban scene depicted in the postcard. The street leading up to and surrounding Red Square is populated with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages indicative of the late 19th-century setting.
The color palette consists primarily of greens from the domes, warm reds on some buildings' facades, earth tones for other structures and pathways, and a muted sky tone in the background. The postcard's vintage quality is suggested by its artistic rendering style rather than photographic realism, capturing an early 20th-century view of Moscow's most famous landmark.
In terms of additional information about this image, it may be linked to "Orthodox churches" as St. Basil's Cathedral serves a religious function in the Orthodox tradition and was built between 1555-61 during Ivan the Terrible’s reign.
