The fourth night of pilgrimage at the National Cathedral was the busiest, with lines stretching for over two kilometers and waiting times of up to 12 hours. Pilgrims, coming from all over the country, faced poor organization, with many complaining that they did not even receive water during the wait. Although some expressed disappointment with the experience, others found strength in prayer, considering the moment unique and full of significance. So far, over 80,000 pilgrims have passed through the Holy Altar, and the Romanian Patriarchate has extended the worship program during the night until Wednesday, November 5, at 12:00 AM. Pilgrims emphasized the need for an improvement in organization for future events.
