Hello Ana this too is beautiful about your country....Did you also know that in the Jewish calender this month was and still is regarded as the first month of the year, and although the rest of the world agreed to change the first month of the year from April to January the Jews maintained that April was indeed the first month of the year still....because of this they then termed "April Fools"...and hence we have April fools day which is associated with the first day of April...rev. nathan

Thank you for the lovely history lesson! Linda

Dear Ana, Thank you for giving us a glimpe of Easter Romanian style. I enjoyed reading about it. Hope you have a nice week, & a blessed Easter. Take care, Cheryl

Hello Lisa! Glad you could get here despite of your limited time. Thank you for visiting :-)

Hello Rev. Nathan :-) I was waiting for your input here, being eager to see what new can you tell me or what else could I tell you. Next week I'll do my best to post step by step our week before Easter. I knew about the Jews that they are counting the first month of the year from Arpil. For us also the 1st of April is "April Fools" day and people do many triks on each other. Thank you for your post and taking always your time to come here.
