Dragobete
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dragobete is a traditional Romanian holiday. Dragobete was the son of Baba Dochia. He is celebrated on the 24 February. It is known as "the day when the birds are getting engaged". This day is supposed to protect one from fever which produces shivers and illness. If the weather allows it, girls and boys are supposed to pick snowdrops or other early spring plants for someone they are courting.
