  1. EASTER TRADITIONS By ioniceanualexandra

  2. EASTER TRADITIONS in ROMANIA • Easter is the most important celebration of the Romanian people and it is preceded by numerous preparations and rituals.

  3. Easter • The Easter is the most important celebration of the Romanian people and it is preceded by numerous preparations and rituals. • It’s a must for the people to have a clean house and have all the ritual foods ready. This is why the cleaning starts on Great Thursday. Men, who are usually working in the field or at the forest, will remain home starting with this day and will take out the thrash, fix the fence, cut wood, bring water, butcher the lambs. Women are the ones that paint and decorate the eggs, do the laundry and generally clean the house. • Because it’s a good thing to have a new piece of clothing on the Easter, girls and young wives start to sew shirts for them and also for their parents, brothers, husbands or children, with about two weeks in advance.

  4. Painting the eggs • The eggs are usually painted in : • Red : just like the God’s blood . • Blue : just like the sky . • Green : just like the grass . • Yellow : just like then sun . The eggs are usually painted in the Great Thursday or the Great Friday .

  5. The Lent Fast • Because of the heavy religious significance of Easter, many Romanians choose to take part in the Lent fast in the six weeks preceding the holiday. During this time, many people choose to eat no meat and abstain from things like tobacco or alcohol. Contrary to popular belief, Romanian Orthodox followers see this more as a celebration or love of God rather than being a form of penitence. While not everyone in the country follows a rigid adherence to this fast, most restaurants will offer items that fit the fasting diet, usually being designated by the term “de post.” This is also a helpful hint for vegetarian travelers who want to know what they can eat on a restaurant’s menu.
