SANZIENE, a Romanian holy day

Every year, on 24th of June,
Romanians celebrate the holiday of Sanziene.

"The legend says that in long lost times, the Sanziene used to be priestesses of the Sun, but as their believes are lost in the mists of time, today they are considered beneficial fairies of extreme beauty. Some specialists say that the Sanziene celebration is a Geto-Dacian celebration of the Sun, millenniums old. In the night of 23-24th June, the Sanziene, who live in forests and plains, come out of their hiding places and dance the night away in circles. Where the Sanziene dance, the plants grow healthier and stronger, filled with healing properties." - RiseRa Light
