Beştaş is a traditional Turkish game played with five small stones or beads. The game helps develop hand-eye coordination, focus, and strategic thinking. The player gathers the stones in their hand and spreads them on the ground, then tosses one stone into the air while picking up another from the ground, catching the airborne stone with their hand. This process is repeated for all the stones in order. As the game progresses, stones are picked up one by one, two at a time, or all together. If a stone is dropped or missed, the turn passes to the next player. The goal of the game is to collect all the stones without dropping any and in the correct sequence.

Papanași are a traditional Romanian dessert made from a dough based on fresh soft cheese, eggs, flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Some recipes also include baking soda or baking powder, along with vanilla or lemon zest for extra flavor.

To prepare papanași, the ingredients are mixed into a soft dough, which is then shaped into round doughnuts with a small ball of dough placed on top. They are usually deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and slightly creamy on the inside. In some regions, they can also be boiled instead of fried, resulting in a lighter texture.

Papanași are served warm, topped generously with sour cream and fruit jam, most commonly blueberry or sour cherry. The combination of crispy exterior, soft interior, and the contrast between tangy sour cream and sweet jam makes this dessert rich, flavorful, and very popular throughout Romania.

Mărțișor is a traditional Romanian symbol associated with the beginning of spring, celebrated on March 1st. It consists of a small decorative charm tied with a red and white string, which people give to loved ones as a sign of good luck, health, and renewal.

The two colors have symbolic meaning: red represents life, energy, and vitality, while white stands for purity, light, and new beginnings. Together, they reflect the transition from winter to spring and the balance between opposites.

Mărțișor is usually worn pinned to clothing, often near the heart, during the first days of March. In some traditions, it is worn until the first sign of spring—such as a blooming tree—after which it is tied to a branch for good fortune.

This custom has deep roots in Romanian culture and is seen as a joyful way to celebrate nature’s rebirth, friendship, and appreciation for others.
