 Versiune în Limba Română AICI.

Wedding at boy’s baptism is the most important moment tied to birth at Turks and Tatars from Dobrogea region. The age of boy varies between three and ten years.

A relative of the parents goes from house to house with a doll and announces the date of baptism, and those who receive the invitation hang to the doll: a handkerchief, a geaulâc or çevre with a penny in cse. Then with these textiles they adorn the canopy.
