To the right of the church "Biserica Intrarea in biserica a Maicii Domnului"
(Church of the Entrance of the Mother of God) is the so-called "Panteonul
Bistritei" (Pantheon of Bistritians). On top of it is a beautiful bell from
2001. Unfortunately, the inscription on the bell is partly not on the photo, but
assumably it reads:
Orthodox Church Bistrita
Family of priest Feier Nicolae
Margareta Mihai and Dana
Year 2001
Panteonul Bistritei
"The idea of erecting a monument belongs to the priest Prof. Nicolae
Feier, the confessed thought was to honor his ancestors. The monument is
composed of a white cross. It was conceived and designed by A. Magherusan,
N. Mucea and D. Duzinschi.
The whole ensemble cost around 2.5 billion lei, coming, as priest Feier
said, 'from our work in the church, from the faithful, from Bistrita City
Hall, from Culture, from other benefactors'. The words: 'In memory of the
known and unknown heroes from Bistrita-Nasaud' and 'In memory of the saints,
bishops and important people from Bistrita-Nasaud' are encrusted in the
marble."
