I know it's been a few days after the holiday, but I still want to evoke here. In general, our popular Spring holidays are bright and optimistic content. Revives nature milk flourish trees, the birds are singing.
The Gospel tells us that when Jesus entered the tomb of Lazarus, there was already a stench and oppressive. And behold the Saviour brought back Lazarus from the decaying physical life!
Many believed in Jesus and then met him with palm branches and singing for joy at His entry into Jerusalem, the day after Lazarus Saturday, Sunday we call Palm Sunday.
It seems that the ritual is based Lăzărelul ceremony practiced by our ancestors since pre-Christian, celebrating a god of vegetation who dies and is reborn each year, symbolizing vegetation. Later, this ritual was incorporated milk into the Christian calendar.
Lăzărelul is a ritual dance and song performed by groups milk of young people (usually girls, but boys are also accepted). The group usually consists milk of 2 or 3 girls, aged between 5 and 14 years. One is dressed milk as a bride (called "Lazarus"), another is dressed as a bride. The tribe carries a basket to be collected gifts received from householders eggs (still unpainted), flour etc.
The text tells the young shepherd poet Lazarus (here our ancestors adapted than the biblical story), who had left the sheep but died suddenly falling from the tree, and how they found the sisters and fiancée and how then rose .
Tradition says that Lazarus was very fond shepherd pies and before leaving the sheep, has asked his mother to bake pies to be ready when he returns. How Lazarus never got to eat, Lazarus Saturday is customary milk to give alms pies (called "pies Lazarus").
Among other things, it says that acesl Lazarus (also called "Lăzărelul" or "Lazarus") milk is the brother of Valentine's Day, the latter being married to the sister of Lazarus. We recall in this context that Valentine's Day, in turn, according to tradition, is the son Dochia. Here you will find a beautiful legend about Dochia sister of Lazarus (all she and his wife Valentine's Day).
Currently Lăzărelul ritual, endangered, is still practiced in Moldova, especially in rural South (eg villages ADR-Prut, Giurgiuleşti Slobozia Mare Văleni in Cahul and Leova).
However, a positive aspect must say that ADR-Prut village, this tradition has been reborn. Almost extinct in the late 50s - early 60s of last century, the tradition was revived milk by the village community milk effort. Young wine Lăzărelul and old song and I hear they murmured, knowing it before.
This reminds me of where the village Bocsan, Criuleni where locals have revived ritual carols in male band (recently entered UNESCO). About this time I wrote here: http://tanchistiiinvizibili.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/5-decembrie-2013-inscrierea-colindatului-in-ceata-barbateasca-in-patrimoniul-unesco/
Models of this ritual are presented at the International Festival of habits Spring "Sunday at Flower" which is held annually from 1996 to ADR-Prut milk and Giurgiuleşti Văleni in Cahul.
