At the time I’m writing this, most people in Romania await “colindători” or carolers, who go from house to house singing carols and in return are given money and sweets. On New Year’s Eve, people will start to dance the goat and bear dance to homes. In my region, not sure about the others but in the morning of January 1st, the so called “semănători” will come who will sing and drop seeds on the door entrance to “plant” good fortune and luck to people for the next year. Every region of Romania has unique traditions! ❤
These traditions are centuries old, but they’re starting to become endangered…they’re thankfully being kept alive in regions like Maramureș and Bucovina where the old ways of life and ancient traditions still remain relevant to this day. Romania is one of the very few European countries that still keep ancient pagan traditions alive like they used to be ages ago, not just for show or things like that, and not only for Christmas but in general, and that’s something we are very proud of. Even if they’re slowly disappearing, it’s amazing we’re still able to enjoy them still! ❤️
I like that the traditions are kept alive. It is said if you don't know where you are from, you know not where you are going. We keep ours alive on the island as well. Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas from Romania. I saw some on friday i was on the station to take the tram with my kid 😂. She was so :" waw! Waw! " she was amazed ❤😂. They are so loud 😂❤. So even if we are in Bucharest we still see them. And yesterday and today we had some kids from gindergarden come into our door to sing some carols , it was beautiful❤. The only think is missing is snow , we had 10° today very warm for this time of year😢. I miss snow , when i was a kid we had sooo much snow. 😢 and in the building from every where smells of cabagge rolls/ cookies/ cozonac / etc manny beautiful smells from every home❤. Even if i am tired i feel in peace❤

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Glad you enjoy the reactions.
Merry Christmas! Crăciun Fericit! Sending much love from Romania!! ❤️🇷🇴
Merry Christmas/Irie Icmas to you. Hope you have a joyous one.
Sunt obiceiuri și si ritualuri de la strămoșii noștri geto-daci (o ramură a tracilor), obiceiuri , în parte , moștenite și de popoarele vecine (slave), care s-au așezat de-a lungul istoriei pe pământurile vechilor traci.
De multe ori și-au pierdut semnificația, dar sunt totuși transmise. Altele s-au "creștinat", oricum ar fi, sunt foarte vechi, de mii de ani și ne reprezintă. Tradițiile noastre sunt un răspuns pentru cei care spun că nu suntem urmașii dacilor, că nu avem continuitate pe acest pământ. Dacă nu noi, cine? Un Crăciun cu bucurie și un An Nou fericit!
Thank you for the information, You have an Irie Icmas and an irie new year too.
These are from the annual parades of the traditions of the Winter Holidays in the city of Bacau. Most are from the area of Bacău county, but there are many from other neighboring counties: Vrancea, Vaslui, Suceava. In general, the area of Moldova. The Bear Dance is typical of the Bacău area with large groups of dancers dressed in bearskins.
Thank you for sharing this. You have a merry Christmas.
Hello Mr. Giant, these are very old superstitions of our ancestors that over time became traditions. And you asked if we sprinkle holy water in the house, yes we do that too, we use a branch of basil that we soak in a bucket of holy water and and we sprinkle some in the room we do this every year on January 6 and every year on November 30 we anoint the doors and windows with garlic to ward off evil spirits you know vampires,strigoi,moroi and all that. We keep these traditions because it represents us, it does part of our cultural identity and they are fun. And yes dance of bear/dance of goat(depend of the zone) it's like a little carnival😊✨I wish you a Merry Christmas Mr. Giant✨
Thank you for sharing and as we say in the island. Irie Icmas.
Cândva…30 Noiembrie era ultima zi a anului. De aceea , ca descolindat… se mai practică “furatul porților “… de aceea atâtea “spirite rele” care se luptau ce cele bune la trecerea dintre ani.
De pe vremea dacilor, a tracilor… aceste străvechi tradiții.
Frohe Weihnachten.
Greetings from Germany.
Hi, hope you have a happy holidays.
Happy holidays! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you.
Merry Christmas ! Craciun Fericit !🥳
Merry Christmas to you too.
4 thinks marked me during my life: 1. the enchatments for bad spirits when I was ill - necessary performed by an old woman, our neighbor; 2. the exorcising of a possessed woman in a church near Suceava; 3. almsgiving from a person who didnt't die yet, but was very preoccupied by his future life; 4. Malanca from Iorcani, a band of masked men 10-15 named harapi which performed traditional shoutings and dancings - they were looking like amerindians - feather on their head, black faces painted with soot, bells around their bellies, long pieces of coloured tapeson on their bodies, small bells on their feet, a lash in their hand and a club.
Merry XMas all.!!
Like we say on the island Irie Icmas @moartea948. Eat lots and have fun.
Craciun fericit!
Merry Christmas to you too.
Context: A long time ago, gypsies from our country used to capture bear cubs, placing them on hot embers, and singing songs while the cubs struggled to avoid getting burnt. This practice instilled a new instinct in the bears, so that every time they heard the song, they would start jumping and "dancing," even without the embers near their legs. So this isn t actually a "romanian" tradition. Romanians only liked the way gypsys (who were nomads, at the time, not slaves) did this "show", so they added this to their original "goat dance" traditions
This 2 are the oldest, a newer version of the goat dance, with military costumes became a tradition after the world wars, it is highly different from every region, not many regions keep the original traditions, they keep modernizing, adding grinch costumes just because they look good and slightly changing the song.
I highly recommend you to watch the following 3 :
Tanara de la oglinzi (the newer, military dance)
Ursul de la oglinzi
Capra de la oglinzi
This 3 are all the 3 main traditions, unchanged from the 19', ursul si capra maybe long before that.
I can not believe that you saw this show from my city Bacau.....I want to say that in the past years, this show were more energetic, and in this time of Christmas all the city were covered by snow...These days, We have almost no snow in December....but that's it....!!!! Happy Christmas to all of you!!!
Merry Christmas to you and you family.
Respect
Irie Icmas, Me bruddah, Jah Bless! Cheers from Romania!
Same to you me bredrin. Enjoy.

Da , mă joc cu engleze fiindcă folosesc traducerea Google , engleze nu este limba mea și o cunosc puțin . De asta fac greșeli . Sărbători fericite și un an nou plin de fericire ”masterdon”. From Bucovina regions , Romania . Peace .🕊
We are very supertitios. For example i don' t put my bag where i keep money on the flor because you atract poor vibes. 😂😂😂. Maybe it' s silly but i really believe in some of them. 😂😊😊
Not silly at all, I sometimes still walk backwards into my home so as to make evil spirits not follow me in.
All this stems from the old belief that the souls of ancestors live in wild animals and that it is good to start the new year with ancestors. All old calendars were solar, the new year started on the shortest day of the year, from the first day of the new year the day starts to get longer. The Christian calendar is just conveniently integrated into the old one, at least the orthodox one.
We have aloe_ plant , adapted to pot-cultivate on every Veranda 🌿...for medical purpose, of course 🤓😼‼️
Thank you for haring. Have a merry Christmas.
Only the Apaches dressed în animals skins !! 😮😂 Cristian
Brothers and Sisters you know dhat both sides of the Danube are the birth sides of the last European civilization is,dont let it take it away from us.We ware the first onece,no mathere what thay say.The Danube was that highway,when no highways existed.When Roman empire came to Serbia there was a civilization alredy existing,when thay come to Germany,there was a wild tribe,they call them Gernania magna.
Mr Giant to give you a hintch,whay is tahat food in our region that good?lets investigait abot that see that not more exists,the Panonian see.I think you hear about the Iron gates,well that is the part where the mighty Danube river enters the Djerdap canyon.Its not called Iron gates because its made of iron,but it toock the mighty Danube river hundrets or tousend of years to make his way tru those mountens.but before that it creates a see what had a surface area from north of Bosnia and Serbia,and Croatia to Niederösterreich,Slovakia whole Hungary,and Ukraine.And becouse of all that minerals it left behind those are the most fruitable soils on planet Earth.Just findt it out for your self and you will know it.
Bă ăsta stă și nu vine la noi în țară
Au datini la fel dar diferit Bulgarii, Slovacii si altii , dar sunt diferite daca i-ai vedea ai zice ca sunt Romani , Dacii liberi
A tradition I'm not proud of, until recently real bears were used,It was a black spot on Romania's history,🐻 they were stolen as children, they were starved, beaten, kept in chains by real human animals, and now a massacre is being committed against bears in Romania
Sorry for my english
This is sad, but it is good that the tradition have stopped.
