Around the Whitsun Christian holiday, the people of this small village keep an old tradition alive. „Papalugara” is a ritual that is believed to bring rain and fertility. At the early hours of the morning, „gotoiul”, along with a few other men, which are vital to the tradition, gather green leaves and cover „gotoiul” from head to toe. The other men each pick a stick which they will use to protect „gotoiul”. After this preparation, they travel through the village, where, along the way, the villagers gather water from wells and try their best to wet „gotoiul”, while the ‘guards’ protect him and fend people off with their sticks. The ritual ends with the wetting and the unmasking of „gotoiul” which had been kept a secret up until that point.
