The woman who believed in gestures

It is necessary to  arrange three graves for forgiveness of sins! still believe the elders of the Dobrogean villages. And they still light nine fires in the Maundy Thursday to warm the souls of deads and bind a bicoloured wire in a tree for abundance... And perhaps somewhere, someone throws in the water shells of Easter eggs to float on the Saturday River and finally to announce the Deads Easter. Aunt Ioana from Alba Village performed, like an unwritten law, all these ritual gestures.

Coloring the Easter eggs
  
Throwing the Easter egg shells on a little river to announce the dead souls that their Easter will come after a week
