  • The oldest Martisoare were discovered by Romanian archeologists at Schela Cladovei, a civilization which existed about 8000 years ago. This tradition belongs to the native Balkanic people. The Romanians are the descendants of the native Balkanic people. The Bulgars claim they are Slavs, well the Slavs came in the Balkans 1400 years ago, so thousands years after this tradition was already celebrated. The majority of the Bulgarians are not Slavs as they think, but they are the same as Romanians.

  • It doesn't look to me like the film is saying the custom is "exclusively Romanian". It just says that it is a Romanian custom. Seems sensible enough.

  • What a wonderful and informative video - Thanks to all of you who made this and showed outsiders about this wonderful traddition. Farte Binne

  • Red-White-and-Green...LOL...Hu­ngarian colors. It's all good! :))

  • Maybe will help you to understand better: MARTZISOR is an diminutive to MARTIE-this is how we call the month of March in Romanian...

  • kisses to you :-)

  • Ok thank you for clarifications, you enlighten me...... you see, I celebrate this custom since I opened my eyes on this world....... Oh, yes Romania is a Balkan country with a lot of Byzantine traditions (if i have to think just about the religion...)...That's right... thank you again and have a nice evening!

  • Dear Ninapreda, the video is very nice. I just wanted to tell that the celecrated habit is Balkanic, and the most enthusiastic Martisor people are the Bulgarians. Martisor may have Roman orogin but then it is East-Roman (Byzantine). Balkan Slavs learned Martisor from Byzant, probably.

  • From my point of view this clip is not lying and last time when i checked, to upload clips on youtube was free for any payment so i don't see how MAE spent money on this... Is beautiful and welcomed (by the way..i'm not upset on Valentine's propaganda ... and even Romanians celebrate this custom for a few years ).

  • Don't be so mean... they are describing how Romanians are celebrate this custom...maybe you know that are many differences from country to country on this custom and i don't think is necessary to extend this description to other countries or to entire Balkan area.

  • hm....maybe...could be
