Dragobete....Love Romanian Style





 
Dragobete Saliste, Sibiu

On February 24 everybody in Romania loves…. sweet Romanian style, in the purest and most intense way.


It is the day of spring when nature comes back to life, birds sprinkle joy with their song, spring flowers delight our senses, tradition transcending from Dacian times.

It is similar to Valentine's Day,  Dragobete is the name of the handsome and strong young man that brings love in the home and heart.



Legends from ancient times depict him as a mythological character, like Eros, the ancient Greek god of love and Cupid from the Romans, who officiated from the heavens weddings for all animals at the beginning of each spring, a tradition that continues in the folklore.

 
Basil

On this day, basil is sown… seeds are placed in the soil, in small pottery vessels, nurtured in window sills in light and warmth until the day of Saint George, on April 23 at which time the basil is planted out into the garden. 


It is believed that the basil will poses special magic and healing qualities.

Should you chose to celebrate, indulge with a cherished Romanian Champagne.
