I love seeing such videos! But I only have one problem. Maybe it is a regional thing, but the goat dance (at least in Moldova, the region, not the country) is also supposed to be a way to get rid of your sins. You blame the goat for everything, curse it, etc. so bad spirits would be attracted to it, not to you. You can call it a "scapegoat"😉
Zaiafet are un video despre ce credeau românii înainte de Dumnezeu. Cred că așa se numește. Video-ul e despre credințele și tradițiile păgâne ale românilor.
Thanks! I'm and American and I have a soft spot in my heart for a Romanian woman so I am studying your culture! I appreciate your video. I hope to see more like this 😊😊🙏🙏
Romania is not actually part of the Balkans by any measure. Only the countries south of the Danube count as balkan geographically and culturally were closer to Eastern slavs in Ukrain than Southern slavs in Bulgaria.

Do a video on Romanian superstitions too. And taboos. Never do laundry on a Sunday or religious holiday. Only give an uneven number of flowers to the living, even numbers are for the dead. Cross yourself whenever you pass by a church. Yep, now you are good to go! You know all you need.
The only tradition I know is that u dig up your loved ones grave after some time and celebrate, my dad was orthodox when he was a child and he tells me alot of stories and wierd thing the orthodox Christians do (I'm also Romanian)
Also being part Mexican, i have to mention that traditionally when a women gave birth they would try a string around her partner's "huevos" so he would share the same pain.
I'm from Romania too. I didn't know about "Paștele morților" but it seems really interesting. I don't think we celebrate it here in Muntenia. What a shame...
They are archaic, ancient, pagan traditions from our ancient ancestors. the Dacians. 2000-3000 years ago. Another tradition known for the New Year is playing the goat. And these customs are considered archaic rituals. For specialists, the game of the Goat is one of fertility and fecundity of the soil. Where the goat plays, rich crops will spring up. The goat dies and then comes back to life, like nature. For Romanians, the goat is a symbol of luck.
I live in a Romanian village and i only know about the last tradition, now i don't know if in my region traditions like this just don't happen or i'm just blind but yeah
@@AnnaLeWild ok so i just asked my parents if we cover mirrors when someone dies and they said that yes, we do, they also said that it's not done that much these days in my village abd also the fact that i was 2015 when i went to someone who died so this is probably i've never heard of this tradition I'm from Bucovina btw
Loveeeed your video! ❤️ it would be super interesting if you made individual videos about some of these traditions going very in depth into their history, meaning, evolution, all of that😊
@@AnnaLeWild your mom was understandable, too. Nevertheless, your father hit her in her chin with his fist, to be sure she can't harm people anymore. After she gave you to the world.
She mentioned in the video she’s Transylvanian. Walachia is just the southern part of the country, Transylvania is the central and western part. And she included traditions from all over the country actually
I am a bit late to the party, but I love these traditions! I have visited Romania just recently for the first time, but I want to come back again because I love how it feels like all Romanians are proud and passionate about their traditions. I live in Czechia, and we have a lot of similar traditions, but it isn't as popular to do them here. But we at least have a similar tradition about watering women. Here, we spank them with whips made from willow trees or juniper, and then we throw water at the girls and also usually spray the cheapest perfume on them, so they hate us. But they still have to give boys some gifts and tie a ribbon to the whip so others can see how many girls you have already visited. (I think I should mention that people try to make the whip as big as possible, so it is normal to see some people walking around the village with 6 meters long whips that weigh almost 50 kilos.) When I was in Romania, it was a part of the Erasmus project, and the school in the city of Comănești wanted to show some traditions, and it was perfect. They showed us the goat dance and the Jocul urșilor (I hope I didn't mess up the name), which was epic. I will definitely visit Romania again to see everything in your country! Also, I love these videos. I hope you will continue with them because these traditions truly are a topic that almost no one is talking about on social media.
Multumesc ca ai postat vidoul asta. Eu m-am nascut in Bucuresti (traiesc acum peste hotare) si desi bunicii mei din partea mamei sunt din alte parti (bunica din Pietroasele si familia bunicului din Cernauti/Chernivtsi si Cetatea Alba/Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyi) dar nici unul dintre ei nu prea stiau traditiile din regiunile lor. Bunica a plecat la Bucuresti sa se duca la internat (primise o bursa prin '41 cand avea 9 ani) si dupaia cu comunismul nu a apucat sa invete nimic din tradiitile partintiilor ei la Pietroasele. Bunicu era in scoala militara si se tot muta cu frontul deci nici el nu prea stia traditii. Iar in Bucuresti nu prea prinzi mai mult decat ursul si capra de craciun/anu nou. Eu am plecat din Romania cand aveam 13 ani, acu aproape 20 de ani, asa ca ma bucur ca apuc sa invat despre ceva traditii.
Our traditions are not that weird but I had to be honest even now at the age of 21 yo I am still being scared Bc of the masks. There is another tradition which is celebrated on the 31st of December when ppl dress up in colorful costumes that have to contain bells, masks with horns and more like that. The people that wear this costume are named Badanari and they are supposed to scare people and vome to their home in the middle of the night to bring luck and scare the bad spirits. The usually have to throw rice all over the house and do something to the family members like putting whipped cream on their faces, putting on makeup especially on the womens of the house. I honestly like this tradition and I was one of the Badanari but they scare me when they come up to you when you are not ready and just scream in your ears and picking you up.
Sanzene it is tradition, not Slavic! But is old Gets - Dacians- Thracians over before Christianity era, mean local Romanians ancestors, like their capital Sarmizegetusa (note please GET root of the world) please note and Cucuteni civilisation which is women's civilizations 6000 years before Crist en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucuteni%E2%80%93Trypillia_culture en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia#:~:text=It%20thus%20roughly%20corresponds%20to,Hungary%2C%20Slovakia%2C%20and%20Ukraine.
If both groups don't speak Tracian but one south Slavic one latin and both groups have the same genetic how can u say one getic tradition is Romanian (roman) and not Slavic? It is Tracian simple

Zaiafet is low-key the best Romanian RUclipsr
@@AnnaLeWild yep. Him and Codrin, but Codrin is another story.
Ammmm why haven't RUclips given me a notification for your comment and heart?
I wish I was Romanian but, alas I am a humble Viking with some Hungarian in my distant past. I just love Romanian mythology.

Go back to studying!
90% of the total population of Romania is Orthodox and 96% of Romanian ethnics are Orthodox 😁 .
I can confirm that 7:57 accurately depicts poles during easter lol
I was gonna visit Poland during Easter, but now I'll change my plans... 😂

@@AnnaLeWild yeah I think it was just a think his village used to do
Wait is that not a thing in the whole country?
While it has been 2 years, I must thank you now anyways for giving me context to the goat dance. Goat dance rocks
Hmm...interesant :)
In my home country and where I am now. We also do the covering mirror on funeral tradition. Interesting video as always!
I'm glad you enjoyed it
When i was in the Dominican i vaguely remember a Haitian family doing this. I was also 10 at the time, so i could be remembering wrong.
Also being part Mexican, i have to mention that traditionally when a women gave birth they would try a string around her partner's "huevos" so he would share the same pain.
@@AnnaLeWild your mom was enjoyed when I pay her a visit.
I live in Montana, we have a similar issue with tourists messing with the bears and getting mauled here as well.
I don't understant why people aproach bears in the first place

Buna!!!!! Eu sunt din romania
We arent vampires. We dont eat hearts.
We are ordinary pleople.

I only found out about it when I was researching for this video too. It's such an interesting tradition
