After Romania officially adopted the new Gregorian calendar in 1919, in 1924 the Romanian Orthodox Church also moved to the new calendar. Some of the monks, clergy and believers considered the changes made by the new calendar to be uncanonical and broke away from the official church, continuing the old Julian calendar. The head of the mouvement was the hiermonk Glicherie.
He was arrested in September 1936. Beginning World War, Father Glicherie was released in 1939, fled to the mountains, organizing the rebuilding of all previously demolished churches. Also in 1947-1948 the Slătioara Monastery was built and this will become the seat of the Metropolitan of Orthodox Romanian Church on Old Calendar Style. The church was rebuilt since 1978 and sanctified by IPS Glicherie in 1982. În 1959, after the death of the first Mitropolitan of the Church on Old Calendar Style, on the metropolitan seat, follows His All-Holy Glicherie, who will preserve it until he moves to the Lord in 1985. After the December 1989 Revolution, the Old Calendar Style Church blooms, with over 70 new parish churches, monasteries and hermitages built. In 1999, Metropolitan Glicherie was canonized under the name of St. Hierarch Glicherie the Confessor, the shrine of his relics being now a place of honor in the church of Slătioara Monastery. Next to the Monastery, a new metropolitan church is built. In 2010 there were about 500,000 old Orthodox faithful (in Moldova and in Bucharest). In 2008 there were 130 churches, old-style churches and monasteries in Romania.
