Flowers Festival - Floriile
 
The Flowers Festival is a syncretic holiday, combining beliefs or practices, which take place on that Sunday that comes before Easter. It is dedicated to the Roman Goddess of Flowers. During the day Romanians go to the church with a young branch from a willow tree to be sanctified. Then the people embellish the windows and the doors with them. It is said that the willow branches symbolize the fertility of spring. On this day nobody works and people eat fish. They symbolize the fertility. The little March, a tiny jewel made of tin with a red and white cord is hung in a wild rose or in a blossomed fruit tree.
Această sărbătoare are loc în duminica ce precede Paștele si are caracter sincretic. 
În această zi nu se lucrează si se mănâncă în special pește. Casele se împodobesc cu ramuri de salcie. Ele simbolizează fertilitatea. Mărtisorul se agață într-un măceș sau pom înflorit.
