MOTIVATION:
Customs and traditions provide wonderful opportunities for all schools of the world to share photos, information or movie and learn more about theirs countries.
Situated in South Eastern Europe , Romania preserved a significant number of traditional customs and celebrations manifest within the strong community of the village. Our ceremonies are dedicated to the significant moments of one's life (birth, wedding, death), to natural cycles (such as solstice, equinox, harvest, springtime) or to the big religious celebrations, follow the same archaic mythical rituals they did a thousand years ago. Even though preformed at the end of the 20th century in villages marked by modernization, such traditional rites haven't diminish their prestige. They still provide viable answers to how to live in harmony with the environment and community, that the present social and economical system cannot furnish. As a result of the historical time we live, most forms of traditional community life slowly vanished from the post-industrial civilizations of this century.
