Women's Day

The 8th of March is a celebration of both Mother’s Day and Women’s Day in Romania. On this special day, I wish you "comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, love to complete your life!"

Happy Women’s Day and a bunch of flowers via this video!

“Mărţişor”

There is an old tradition in Romania to celebrate the 1^st of March by offering a tiny gift, called “mărţişor”, as a symbol of the spring to come, to people we care about. It also symbolizes the rebirth of nature. Literally, the word means little March. Nowadays, men offer women such a talisman object, also consisting of a jewel or a small decoration like a flower, an animal or a heart, tied to a red and white string. It is believed that the one who wears the red and white string will be powerful and healthy all year round.

Greetings from Romania!

Our town, Vulcan, situated in the west of Romania, is surrounded by the Parâng and Retezat Mountains. Containing more than 60 peaks and over 100 glacier lakes, the Retezat Mountains are some of the most beautiful in the Carpathians and include Romania’s first national park. It is an attractive region for those who love adventure and nature.
