Carol singing
• On Christmas Eve,
children prepare to
go carol singing.
They make a “Star”
with ribbons and
flowers.
• It symbolizes the
star that was
followed by the Magi
to find Jesus in
Bethlehem.
“Astazi s-a nascut Hristos!
Today Christ is born!
• Children go from
one house to
another, singing
carols and receiving
pretzels, nuts,
apples, cakes
• They put all the
goodies in a special
hand-made bag
called “traista”
The “Bear”
• One child in the
group wears a bear
costume (sometimes
it is real bear fur)
and he performs a
really cool dance
which is called the
“bear’s dance”
• This dance is a lot
of fun and children
really enjoy it
The “Goat”
• Two or more
children wear handmade colorful
costumes and masks
of goats
• They perform a
nicely-paced dance,
accompanied by
music and funny
rhymes
The Christmas tree
• A global tradition is
to place a beautiful
fir-tree in the living
room and have all
family members
around and put
ornaments and
candies in it
• Santa Clause comes
in through the
Chimney and leaves
gifts for the children
Traditional Christmas food
Cozonac – home-made
pastry with nuts and cocoa
filling, absolutely delicious!
Sarmale – cabbage stuffed
with meat and rice, so
yummy!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
everybody!
