Christmas carols from Romania

Carol is one of the most popular winter traditions .

Winter Carols are songs to celebrate Christian ritual texts , dedicated to Christmas and New Year. Their origin is lost in the ancient history of our people. Over the centuries they became more beautiful and have gained a great variety throughout the country . They transmit a festive atmosphere and mood that all Romanians welcome the Nativity Feast and New Year.

Recalling when the birth of Jesus , the star that guided the three wise men appeared in the sky , children go from house to house singing carols and carrying with them a star.

“Pluguşorul” is an ancient custom that, in New Year's Eve , groups of children go to people's houses and speak different wishes . They are accompanied by a small plough , hence the name of the carol .

The news of the Savior is widespread carols each year falling in each house by carol singers . These hosts are rewarded with fruit (apples , walnuts ) , coils , candy and even money .
