Abstract: The present paper, as announced the title, it proposes to treat the Association „Burning Altar”, legal stage spiritual movement whose mentor is Sandu Tudor. The „Burning Altar” movement was a group of some of the most important intellectuals (theologians and laity) of the era that, given the deep ties of friendship between them, come together around a common spiritual pursuits. The catalyst was Sandu Tudor. Ostracized under communist totalitarianism, both secular intellectuals and clerics were aware of their duty to discover the deep spiritual levels of Christianity to provide a possibility of human survival as a person in the face of aggression an aberrant modernity. In our attempt to reconstruct as truthful image of „Burning Altar”, of that time, we conjunction the documents from the archive C.N.S.A.S. with memoir literature but also with the interview of the only person who,nowadays, can testify about what the prayer of the heart meant for students, but also for „elders” integrated in this spiritual movement - Father Nicolaie (Nicholas) Bordașiu.
