My raion center held its annual “Ziua vinului” celebration on October 22nd. In Moldova it is a day to celebrate the wine and traditions of Moldova. In my raion, a theme is selected and the towns set up booths to celebrate that theme. This year was “Nunta” (The Wedding). I attended with two of my partner organizations ” Muzeul La “Bunici” and AO “Tudora, meleag natal”. The museum shared photos of weddings from the village and the other booth celebrated with a casa mare and the foods served at weddings. Other villages also had casa mare displays and some also had mock weddings and demonstrations of wedding dances. It was wonderful way to celebrate so many traditions.
