We all know that February is clearly a
month when love is in the air, in anticipation of the spring to come. And,
DRAGOBETE is another great occasion to celebrate love in all its varieties. But
unlike Valentine's Day, DRAGOBETE (lovers' day in Romania) is not only
about roses, heart-shaped chocolate, jewelry, and love letters; it is more
about being tender to your significant other by showing them your appreciation
and love not through material objects but rather through your attention and presence,
which is truly beautiful! This
celebration offers the world an additional perspective on Romania’s rich
cultural heritage, mystical folklore and old traditions.
Whether
single or married, DRAGOBETE is a festival for the entire community, which comes
together to celebrate love and the fecundity of spring, since this traditional
custom brings something for everyone and that’s what makes it such a joyful event.
Happy “DRAGOBETE”, dear ones!
Wishing you a warm, lovely and peaceful day, as well as a fragrant spring to come!
