  4. Celebrate Easter in Maramures!

Celebrate Easter in Maramures!

One of the most special experiences that a traveler can have in Romania is to spend Easter in Maramures. It is, without a doubt, the area where the traditions are best preserved and where the locals are proud of their history.

Easter is the most important religious celebration, and  locals prepare well in advance. In addition to spiritual preparation, some of the traditions are related to the preparation of dishes for the festive Easter meal. On the Thursday before Easter, eggs are painted. The locals prefer to use the red color from boiling red onions. They use nylon stockings and put various leaves to appear on the painted eggs. Our guests participate together with the locals in painting the eggs.

On Saturday, the lamb steak is prepared and Easter bread  is baked for the church service.

Saturday night to Sunday is about the Resurrection of the Lord - the locals go to the church where they receive the Light.

The next day, Sunday, all the villagers go to church with baskets full of food to be consecrated by the priest. At the end of the Mass, people share with each other what they have prepared for Easter.

We are waiting for you in a private Easter tour in Maramures, a unique experience in Romania!

  1. Discover with us the Fortified Churches from Transylvania!

    Without a doubt, Transylvania's treasures are the Fortified Churches. These churches look more like fortresses and were built 8 centuries ago by the german colonists settled in Transylvania. In the 12th century, a germanic population came into what is today Transylvania and started a new life. This part of Europe was often attacked by invaders such as ottomans or tartars and this is why these churches were built with one, two or even three defensive walls around. This is the concept of a Fortified Church: a place where locals took refuge in case of an invasion. [...]
