Happy Easter

Easter in Romania is one of the most important and beautiful Christian Holidays, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The main tradition is decorating/dying the eggs red or in different colours on Good Friday, then on Easter people gather to crack the dyed eggs while saying ”Jesus is Risen” to which the response is “ He has truly risen/ Indeed He is.”

It’s the 1st of March and the Romanians are celebrating the beginning of Spring. The word Mărțișor is the diminutive of marț, the old folk name for March (martie, in modern Romanian), and thus literally means "little March". In Romania, the custom is that boys give the girls Mărțisoare, little talismans with red and white strings, symbols of love, friendship and respect.
