Today ( for 3 hours ) I went in Piatra Craiului National Park -
known as the cavers’ paradise - in Zarnesti near Brasov.
Zărnești is a town in Braşov County, Transylvania
It is located near the Piatra Craiului Mountains, which are part of the Southern Carpathians
mountains range. Its close proximity to the Piatra Craiului make it a
common start point for tourists and hikers wishing to explore "The
Piatra Craiului National Park".
Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, is
Christianity’s most important holiday. It has been called a moveable
feast because it doesn’t fall on a set date every year, as most holidays
do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the
first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March
21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25
every year. Orthodox Christians use the Julian calendar to calculate
when Easter will occur and typically celebrate the holiday a week or two
after the Western churches, which follow the Gregorian calendar.
Procesiune impresionantă pe străzile Capitalei, cu ocazia
sărbătorii Floriilor. Mii de credincioşi, alături de un sobor de preoţi
au participat la evenimentul religios ce marchează Intrarea Domnului în
Ierusalim. Procesiunea de Florii a avut ca punct de pornire Mănăstirea
Radu Vodă şi s-a încheiat la Catedrala Patriarhală. Tot astăzi,
credincioşii catolici se pregătesc pentru Noaptea de Înviere. La
Catedrala Sf.Iosif din Bucureşti, liturghia va începe la ora 23.00, în
prezenţa Arhiepiscopului Mitropolit, Ioan Robu.
Over 4,000 people participated on Saturday in the Capital at the Palm
Sunday pilgrimage, during which His Beatitude Daniel has transmitted
them that after the celebration of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, there is
another kind of fasting, of the memory of His Passions and of preparing
for the Resurrection.
The procession took place, as every year, from the Radu Voda
Monastery to the Palace of the Patriarchate, with the participation of
800 priests in Bucharest and Ilfov County, who led the convoy of
thousands of pilgrims.
The large icon of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, carried in the
procession and made each year by a different church, was made this year
by the places of worship in the 6th district, being edged with white freesias.
At the Palace of the Patriarchate, the thousands of participants in
the procession have been greeted by Patriarch Daniel, who, after the
speeches of other senior clerics, addressed the crowd referring to the
importance of the Palm Sunday, the celebration of Jesus’ entry into
Jerusalem.
Same as in Bucharest, the Palm Sunday pilgrimages were organized in
the Romanian Orthodox Church dioceses and Metropolitan churches across
the country and abroad.
In Bucharest, the Palm Sunday pilgrimage was banned by the communist
regime in 1948 and resumed in 2008 at the initiative and with the
blessing of His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel.
Also on Sunday, about one million Catholics in Romania celebrate
Easter, the largest communities being in Transylvania. In Bucovina there
is also an important community of Polish and German Catholics.

Actor Eusebiu Stefanescu, a natural elegance, passed away
Actor Eusebiu Stefanescu was a "presence of a natural elegance", an
actor who lived intensely through theatre and poetry, a press release by
the Theatre Union of Romania (UNITER), sent AGERPRES on Sunday, reads.
"He had a still, sincere gaze which left you off-guard, made you be
afraid of your gloomy thoughts, a gaze that chased perfidy away. He was a
presence of a natural elegance, with a discreet smile, but which was
hiding a very joyful mystery. The mystery of an extreme life experience
through theatre and poetry. As a teacher, he managed to pass on, to
guide several generations of future actors to the perfection, to the
controlled severeness of the force of the word well spoken in the
spotlights," the release says.
"As a member of the UNITER Senate, Eusebiu Stefanescu received in
2014, at the UNITER Awards Gala, the Prize of the UNITER chairman for
'his contribution to the beautiful utterance of poetry'. Almost one year
after being granted this award, Eusebiu Stefanescu is passing away,
leaving a huge void," the UNITER release reads.
Eusebiu Stefanescu has died on the night of Saturday to Sunday, at the Bucharest Military Hospital, at 70 years of age.AGERPRES
Moartea actorului Eusebiu Ştefănescu l-a dărâmat pr Florin Piersic. „Îi
consolez familia şi sunt rănit şi vreau să spun ceva...trebuie să spun
un lucru foarte grav. Abia am curaj să apăs pe butonul de la telefon
pentru că imi este frică să primesc tot timpul o noua veste tristă”, a
declarat marele actor. .
Actorul Eusebiu Ştefănescu a murit, duminică, la vârsta de 70 de ani.
Potrivit primelor informaţii, decesul actorului a fost cauzat de o
tumoare cerebrală.
"Acum două săptămâni, fiind la Ploieşti, am aflat de suferinţa acestui
minunat coleg care mi-a fost foarte apropiat partener în filmele făcute.
El era un coleg excepţional şi dacă vreţi vă spun o întamplare care să
mângâie sufletele familiei lui este faptul ca eu am fost şi sunt in
continuare bun prieten cu baiatul lui, cu Ionut Stefănescu. Nu ştiu cum
să vă spun că de multe ori împreuna cu Ionuţ, într-o zi m-am întâlnit
în fata ministerului Educaţiei şi am povestit foarte multe despre viaţa
noastră şi a lui Eusebiu. Între toti cei pe care îi cunosc de vârsta mea
şi pe cei mai tineri cu câtiva ani, atât vreau să vă spun că era un
recitator excepţional.
Acum o lună de zile vorbeam cu Patriarhul Daniel spunea ca
trebuie să îl pomenesc pe Eusebiu Stefanescu care a venit o dată şi a
recitat foarte furmos. Ii consolez familia şi sunt rănit şi vreau să
spun ceva...trebuie să spun un lucru foarte grav. Abia am curaj să apăs
pe butonul de la telefon pentru ca îmi este frică să primesc tot timpul o
noua veste tristă", a declarat actorul Florin Piersic la România TV.
Hey...girl
Take out the dagger
And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution
Hey girl
Let freedom for all be our rallying call
Tomorrow lets make...our new resolution
Yeah, but tonight lie still
While I plunder your sweet grave
And remember
Only the poor can be saved
Hey girl
As I've always said I prefer your lips red
Not what the good Lord made
But what he intended
Hey girl
Don't point the finger at me
I am only a rat in a maze like you
And only the dead go free
So...please hold my hand
As we blunder through the maze
And remember
Nothing can grow without rain
Don't point
Don't point your finger at me
I awoke in a fever
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
She said "You've been having a nightmare
And it's not over yet"
Then she picked up the doggy in the window
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she put him to bed between two bits of bread
