Traditions and customs on the eve of Saint Andrew...

How charming is the feast of St. Andrew, which is on December 13th. The eve of this wonderful holiday preserves many special traditions, which are also practiced in the village of Şuri. She is especially expected of unmarried girls and young men. It is saying that the ghosts walks throw the village, so the doors, windows or thresholds of the house were anointed with garlic so that these creatures could not enter the house. The animals were feed with basil, garlic and holy water to protect them. In the evening, the young men start stealing the gates of the girls they like, throwing them somewhere not far from the house or even over the fence to the neighbors, this being an unusual and specific custom of this holiday.

Tonight, the girls gathered at the house of one of them for the witchcraft ritual, which they say they can see their willed. The girl who receives the guests, together with her mother, had to prepare traditional dishes and arrange the table. Some habits practiced by the girls:- they walked around a few wells nearby and looked in them, it was said that they could see the face of the future husband,-in the dark room they stood in front of the mirror with two lighted candles in their hands, and behind them it was said that they see scenes from the future life together with the willed,-to see the characteristics of the future husband, they extracted some mixed vessels which bellow were specific things and if under the vessel was, for example, comb, it meant that the willed will have long hair, if there is a coin - it will be rich, if it was a broken mirror - it will be beautiful, etc.-the girls also made bread with garlic and oil, called "balabuşte", which each of them put in a row outside and called the dog. Which the dog ate, meant that she would marry first.After all this, the boys also came to them and they all sat at the table, where they laughed, sang and had a good time. This beautiful custom is still partially preserved in our village, but we try to practice it so as not to be forgotten.

Wedding customs and traditions

The wedding celebration in Șuri lasts 2 days and takes place according to a big and beautiful scenario. The bride and groom participate in this wonderful custom, in the foreground, together with their parents and "vornicei" and godparents, who are usually chosen by the groom, with their guests and fiddlers,too. The bridegroom and the "vornicei" go first to the godparents, and then all together they go to the bride's house, and in the past it was the custom that two "vornicei" on horseback to go before all. There, the groom and his guests are greeted by an old woman disguised as a bride, but the groom, not wanting to accept her in exchange for the young girl, must pay money and just after that, the real bride is brought to the groom by his parents and sprinkled with holy water. After spending time at her house, the bride makes a cross with the coil in four parts, breaks it over her head and distributes it to those around her. Later, passing by the church for the "cununie" and the registration, they goes, as is the tradition, to the groom's house to continue the celebration, but nowadays more and more young people prefer the restaurant.

When the wedding took place at the groom's house, the bride's dowry was brought there in carriages, which was danced by the bride. Then the whole village gathered as spectators at the party house to see what wealth the bride received from her parents. After this, the bride and groom passed through the tent decorated with traditional carpets, to sit at the table and taste the multitude of food that were prepared by housewives, such as "baba", "sarmale", "parjoale", cake, etc. Then, as now, the "togetherness"(impreunatul) was still practiced, when under the background music, the bride and groom had to kiss their parents' hand, kiss the icon and throw wheat back, all happening, surrounding the table three times. The next day the "straightening" is done, as well, at the groom's house. Then came the bride and groom with different gifts for the youngs, such as birds or other domestic animals, and now, in most cases, with money.It is customary for parents and godparents to be soaked with soot on their faces, this representing the moments of toil and care they had for the wedding and to be walked around the village with a wheelbarrow, this being a sign of rest.
