| Summary: | The contemporary landscape of Eastern Europe comprises social and ontological projects that reinterpret local traditions and histories while challenging imported modernities. This paper explores the New Jerusalem movement, an apocalyptic Romanian Orthodox revitalization movement characterized by a complex synthesis of Orthodox asceticism and messianic nationalism, which is socially and spiritually assisted in its journey by the dramatic expressions of two gifted visual artists, Victoria and Marian Zidaru. Seeing discipline and transcendence of self as acts of freedom grounded in an Orthodox understanding of the person, this work addresses New Jerusalem movement’s distinctive engagement with reformulating a common ground and purpose for self and nation. |
