Church Of The Holy Archangels, Satulung
The Church of the Holy Archangels is a Romanian Orthodox Church located on Victor Jinga Street, Săcele, Romania. Located in Satulung, a former village that is now a district of Săcele, it is dedicated to the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. A wooden church stood on the site as early as the 17th century. The present church was built between 1794 and 1799 with contributions from the local '' mocan'' shepherds, without help from the government. The church and its affiliated school were ready in spring, and dedicated in the summer of 1799. Earlier, in 1796, Bishop Gerasim Adamović had blessed the site of the future altar. Gradually, locals also donated censers, candelabra, candleholders and vestments. They also paid for four bells. During World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Army requisitioned three of them for war materiel, leaving only the large one; the three were replaced after the war.

As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop a ...
