10 (re) interpretations of traditions and customs of dragobes

At the beginning of the 90s, when he entered the holiday from the west Saint ValentineValentine's Day said, they skipped everything we have such a day and we would do well to maintain native traditions, to celebrate DragobesOn February 24, instead of indulging in the sale of the soul of the diabolical consumerism.

The Dragobeteului party, in which «we love Romanian», is considered «part of the magical tradition of the Romanian people and the faith in the cyclic renewal of the world» (Freedom.ro), in recent years by dedicating many articles (we could say ink rivers, but they are only immense pixels), the Internet is full of information, etc. Therefore, more details can only be found by writing «dragobes» in the Google box.

The habit of celebrating on this day is linked to the world of the village, the only place where traditions are still preserved without commercial interference and, at the same time, is linked to the cycle of agricultural works. According to the ethnologist Doina işfanoni, (source: truth.ro/pbd74d) «,The day of 24, called e Spring headmark the beginning of the agricultural year and the exit of the bear from the radius. Through some habits the end of winter and renewal of time has been announced«.

In our times, many of the traditions and dragobes habits may seem to children, but are part of our inheritance, our rural DNA.

It is said that «Who participates in the holidays, is protected all the year of illness, concerns and problems«, So we propose to reinterpret the verb» to celebrate «, reading the lines below, in which we have selected some habits and» said «that bring us a smile, because they too»Young people believe that on this day they must joke and respect the holiday to be in love all year round«. (Surs: Wikipedia)

So 1 + 9 dragobes habits adapt to our times

Let's start with the bonus (What should be point 10, but, containing the «historical» part, the order changes a little).

In Mewi, traditionally (10 years old, soon), we celebrate it Radu TalpanOur colleague brand manager Fendt, born on February 24 (without year).

We open the quote (Source)

«A legend says that dragobes, A young man with hair like Ebony and green eyes like the mountain grassHe managed to arouse love in the hearts of the girls who sang only for the whistle. He taught people to love for hundreds of years and when he made his pain, the Mother of God turned into a ugly, the plant that reborn every spring.«

Well, our Radu is Transylvania, only 'Nastnic would not say that it is, in the rest there are all the premises Dragobes. He has black hair, green eyes, all girls love him, men inDearESC (would not accept the other verb) and does not need a whistle, because his words (well chosen, otherwise) have (others) magical powers.

Happy birthday, Mr. Dragobete!

So you asked how it appears bad? AS:

The Dragobete party was once specific only for Oltenia and Muntenia, but was extended, easy, in Transylvania and Moldova. (In Banat, no. 😊)

So some habits:

1. Whoever hears the stern on dragobes will be difficult all year round.

For this reason, the management of the company must send a connection with a recording of a puppet (for example, to ensure the efficiency of the whole year (it is only February, there are another 10 months!).

2

(Ah! So we could receive the connection with the kiss and if we are in the office at home), Instead, cleaning is made because the days to have an increase in everything (So ​​no, better on the field! 😊)

3. The Dragobete day no animal or bird in the courtyard is sacrificed, in order not to break the purpose of the miles; On the contrary, they must receive good food. Thus the abundance of the house was provided throughout the year.

In the weekly menu of Mewi (Ortiyondora) we have tomato soup, beef salad and pork swing. No danger of sacrifice of Aviar. So if the Madonna who cooks us very well does not change the recipe, beef = chicken, there is no danger.

In addition, we ask all those who have arrived here with reading and have birds in the courtyard to give them organic cereals today. At least.

4. In Transylvania, young people meet to collect spring flowers and spend together, thus celebrating love.

The colleagues of the branch in the Mihai (Bihor) valley have such a beautiful courtyard, full of flowers and green, so we suggest to spend the lunch break at the Foiyond. But in that part of the country, where nature is reborn much later, it would be difficult for them to find something to put in the pot, both as a finger. But….

5 …If it rains the day of dragobes, spring will be long and beautiful.

So Transylvania and Transylvania can wait for flowers. The Glenoreōti team, on the other hand, can collect roots of hooks, which this plant blooms for Christmas.

6 In Oltenia, «boys and girls have the impassive faith that must joke on this day».

The Mewi Team here does not need a special day for this. Bravo, you, Hăhiantilor! 😊

7. You are not allowed to cry on the day of dragobes. It is said that the tears that flow on this day are bringing problems and disturbances in the following months. (Very well! Do not challenge, don't ask, pretend not to see, repress any emotion, because it is not specified if the tears of joy are put on. I want to say a kind of holiday on the muzzle? Something is wrong, somewhere …)

8. Men must not upset women, do not discuss with them, because otherwise they will not go well all year. (Source: Wikipedia) It is not specified, but it would be better not to discuss the gentlemen with each other. Even if I disagree in a certain issue, it would be better to avoid «download». Four times in 3 weeks? (14 and 24 ferbruardie, 1 and 8 March) is it a lot?

9. In the south of the country, the custom of «flying» is preserved.

What does it mean? The Dragobete day, the girls gather for lunch on a hill (Where did they have hills, to drajna?) Then descends to the village. Each guy runs after the girl he loves, and if he captures it and kisses her, at the sight of everyone (!!!), It is believed that they are involved for at least a year. First of all, don't move more than 30 km looking for hills. You will fly for other reasons. 😊 secondly, there are techniques /applications that do not involve this effort. Enter the Play Store.
