Sfânta Marie Mică. Se urează sau nu "La mulţi ani!" în această zi de sărbătoare?

The Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, celebrated on September 8, is a significant day for over 2.5 million Romanians. Traditions include prayers for fertility and refraining from household chores to avoid attracting evil spirits. While some regions celebrate by saying 'Happy Birthday' today, others reserve it for the summer. The day marks the transition from summer to autumn, with signs of changing weather. It is also a time for family gatherings and honoring the Virgin Mary's parents, Saints Joachim and Anna, the following day.
