Christmas traditions and superstitions
In many romanian villages, in Christmas Eve, exists the tradition to smear the cattles and stables with garlic to keep away the bad spiritis. The people are smeared as well with garlic on the forehead, elbows, knees, to be protected from diseases.
In Christmas morning is good to wash the face with running water, not before putting in the water a silver coin, to be as clear as the water and as clean as silver, all year long.
Another old Romanian custom, spread especially in Moldavia, is to bless the Christmas Eve dinner. The priests are walking from house to house to bless the food and to spread the news of Jesus Christ birth.
If a child is born in Christmas day, he will be lucky.Who wants to have luck and health doesn’t eat all day long, until the fall of the night.
