Traditions
 
Traditional clothing
 
    All over Rumania you will find traditions, but the Maramures is famous for them. Special is that these traditions are kicking and alive and popular with a lot of younger people. There are a great number of festivals in the summer and autumn. 
      To mention some, the 30th of April men will bring a serenade to the woman they love, the 29th of May men will cut a tree and will put it to the gate of the house of a secret love, the larger the tree, the greater the love. The 22nd of May men will sprinkle perfume at women they honour. 
      Days like Eastern are special in Romania. But be aware there Orthodox and Catholic days are different, because the Orthodox is based on the moon in Kiev and Roman Catholics follow the moon in Rome. 
      Too many tourists seem to think this is just an something for tourist and disturb people in the middle of their ceremonies. Please show respect and be reluctant. They worst I have seen is a bus full of tourists forcing its way through a crowd of praying people.
