Little
Plough
Plugusorul 
"Plugusorul" is a small plough
but in Romanian folklore is a traditional procession with a decorated plough,
on New Years' Day.
This is a well wishing for the
field bearing on New' Years Day. This custom arises from "Carmen arvale",
a wish from the Romans from the protection of the crops. The ploughmen
are teenagers and children having whip, bells and pipes in the hands.
Their noises accompany the well
wishing.
