FLORIILE - Flowers Day in VILLAGE MUSEUM




























Floriile (the flower day) - last Sunday before Easter

This holiday marks the end of the Easter fasting but also the revival of nature after winter.
It is considered to be the name day of all Romanians with names of flowers (Florina, Florin, Margareta, Daliana etc.)
On this day, people go the church to bless small branches from the willow tree and later put them on door and window sills to protect their home from ills and unpleasant event.

    Once again, I am reminded of what a fine representative you are for presenting the culture and the heritage of the Romanian people through your photographs, Daliana. Your pride in your country and its traditions is very much evident through your work.

    You have created a beautiful series, as well as an educational one.

    Draga Daliana,

    Imi pare rau, dar comentariul tau este depasit si contine erori fundamentale. Ori poate credinata ta este budista, islamica sau orice altceva, dar nu ortodoxa.
    Ziua de Florii nu marcheaza ultima zi de post ci INTRAREA DOMNULUI IN IERUSALIM. A 2-a zi dupa Florii incepe SAPATAMANA MARE, iar postul continua inca o saptamana, pana in Sfanta Duminica de Pasti.
    Pacat de poze, sunt deosebite, dar comentariul lasa mult de dorit.

    Toate cele bune!
