Easter of the Dead
Moldova celebrates two Easters. The first was celebrated on 15 April and the second on 22 April. The second Easter is celebrated in the cemetery and is mean to recognize members of the family who have died. Traditionally, family members place presents on the grave of the deceased and local clergy visit each grave, bless it and burn incense in a censer to chase away evil spirits.
