The Polish Church was the first Autocephalous Orthodox Church to respond positively to the Romanian Patriarchate’s proposal to introduce Romanian Saints to its local church calendar.
According to a communique of the Synodal office, during its 16 May working session, the Holy Synod of the Polish Orthodox Church decided to add several Romanian Saints to its local calendar.
His Eminence Jerzy (George), Archbishop-elect of the Diocese of Wrocław and Szczecin, confirmed to Basilica.ro that the Holy Synod of the Polish Church has approved the inclusion to its calendar of over forty Romanian Saints glorified by the Romanian Orthodox Church since 1950.

In accordance with church ordinances, after the Holy Synod of a local Orthodox Church decides to canonize a saint, the other sister Churches are informed about this decision by a fraternal letter. This letter also addresses the request that the saint be introduced into the local church calendar in order to confirm and consecrate his veneration among faithful from all over the world.

In recent years, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church has decided to add to its calendar several saints glorified by the sister Orthodox Churches. The newly glorified saints include New Martyr Ephraim of Nea Makri, Venerable George the Confessor of Drama, Saint Luke the Surgeon, Archbishop of Crimea, Saint Paisios of Mount Athos. Recently, the Synod the Metropolis of Muntenia and Dobrudja has approved the icon of Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia before including him officially in the calendar of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
