Maramures tanjeaua de la hoteni

 Sent from Romania , Thank you DIANA 22.03.2013

    Maramures, home of culture and civilization, which has carved its history in wood, is the place where traditions, costumes and folk art are present like nowhere else in Romania.
Maramures is a huge museum outside, and the daily life of the village represents a real return in time.

    Maramures is a region that has preserved, throughout its history, an authentic relationship between customs and work, daily life and festivals. The wooden objects, decorated with great artistic sense, accompany all the important moments in life, but the most fascinating are the crosses, real elements of communication between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The Joyful Cemetery of Sapanta, created by the popular artist Ion Patras, gathers hundreds of "talking crosses". Through a text in which self-irony is intertwined with drama, the life of the deceased person is summarized in a few sentences.
    Traditional crafts, such as weaving, wood carving, painting on wood or glass, are still practiced, and are transmitted from father to son.
