There was a graveyard outside the church ; part of the remains were disinterred after Eternitatea cemetery was established in 1871 , an exception being Gheorghe Leondari , who was buried there after his death in 1835 . A hundred years later , his remains were placed in the church , on the right side of the nave . Also in 1935 , the church was blessed a second time by Metropolitan Nicodim Munteanu . An athenaeum associated with the church was built in the yard in 1934 . This hosted cultural figures , among the most popular speakers being philosopher Ion Petrovici . It was destroyed during World War II . After the 1977 Vrancea earthquake , the damaged spires were rebuilt in 1997-1998 and the interior repainted in 1987-1989 . During the same period , the Miclăușeni Monastery donated part of Saint Charalambos ' relics to the parish . Following the Romanian Revolution , a bakery and food pantry were established at the church
