¿Quién es C. Virgil Gheorghiu?
Virgil Gheorghiu was born in Valea Albă, a village in Războieni Commune, Neamț County, in Romania. His father was an Orthodox priest in Petricani. A top student, he attended high school in Chișinău from 1928 to June 1936, after which he studied philosophy and theology at the University of Bucharest and at Heidelberg University.
He traveled and stayed in Saudi Arabia to learn the Arabic language and the Arab culture, before writing the biography of prophet Muhammad. The book was translated from Romanian to French and to Persian in Iran and in Urdu in Pakistan; unfortunately, this book was never translated into English. Its Hindi translation was being printed in India and was expected to be available by January 2020, with the Hindi title saying "A prophet you do not know".
Between 1942 and 1943, during the regime of General Ion Antonescu, Gheorghiu served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania as an embassy secretary. He went into exile when Soviet troops entered Romania in August 1944. Arrested at the end of World War II by American troops, he eventually settled in France in 1948. A year later, he published the novel Ora 25 (in French: La vingt-cinquième heure; in English: The Twenty-Fifth Hour), written during his captivity.
Gheorghiu was ordained a priest of the Romanian Orthodox Church at the Saint Archangels Church in Paris on May 23, 1963. In 1966, Patriarch Justinian elevated him to the rank of iconom stavrofor and in 1970 he was named archpresbyter of the Patriarchate of Constantinople at the Orthodox Center of the Ecumenical Patriarch in Chambésy, Switzerland. In 1971 Gheorghiu became Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church in France.
He is buried in the Passy Cemetery, in Paris. ...
