Part 2 of the #Mucenici story ♥️ As people asked me how the #finishedproduct wpuld look like... please forgive me, this is the only picture (from my phone) that I have of them baked and ready to be served. They were devoured in an instant! * * * They may not look amazing but they were yummy. Paired with milk they are heavenly ♥️ * * * I forgot to post this (oh, with all the #Coronavirus panic happening...) and I really wanted to share my first batch ever of #homemade #Mucenici 🐞 * * * Mucenici is a #Christian #feast of the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste, a traditional holiday in #Romania and #Moldova. It coincides with the start of the #agriculturalyear * * * Some believe that when the #Martyrs were drowned, flowers rose to the surface. As a result, for the date of #9March, every, year, there is a typical dessert with the same name, Mucenici. The desserts are made in the figure 8 to look like garlands. Others believe that the figure 8 denotes a stylized human form of the martyrs themselves. #DiscoverRomania #romaniaoutsideborders #RomanianCommunity #romaniansweets #madewithlove #PhonePhotography #samsungphoto #samsungs7 #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/B9up524He0H/?igshid=5oc0cwrhxij4

Mărțișor is an old tradition celebrated all over Romania every year, on March 1st. The name Mărțișor is a diminutive of March (Martie in Romanian). It is believed that the person who wears the red and white string would enjoy a prosperous and healthy year. Not long ago, in the countryside, people used to celebrate the Martisor by hanging a red and white string at their the gate, window, cattle's horn and shed to protect against evil spirits and to invoke nature's regenerative power. In eastern Romania ( Moldova and Bucovina), the red and white string was complemented with a small - gold or silver - coin. After wearing the coin for twelve days, the women would buy fresh cheese with it hopping that their skin would be healthy and beautiful the entire year. According to archaeological research, the Mărțișor traces its history more than 8,000 years ago. Some ethnologists believe that the Mărțișor celebration has Roman origins, others support the theory that it is an old Dacian tradition.
