DRAGOBETE - ROMANIA , COMENIUS PROJECT - HERE WE ARE

The martyr Valentine entered the western culture as a saint protector of love celebrated on the 14th of February. This holiday has started to be celebrated in Romania for 7 years as a result of the American popular culture. But Romanian have their celebration of love called Dragobete. It is traditionally celebrated on the 24th of February - considered "the day when the birds are getting engaged". Dragobete is in fact the name of the master of love of the good mood in our country. Individuals would gather to pick snowdrops (the first flowers of spring). If a girl hasn't met a boy that day, it was told that no one would love her all year long.
