Romanian folk song and dance is a rowdy, joyous music, best witnessed during one of the many seasonal or traditional festivals around the country. The intensely rhythmic music is made primarily from three instruments: the cetera, a high-piercing violin; the zongora, a larger fiddle, and the doba, a goat-skin and wood drum. The dancers are in holiday costume and perform rousing, high-stepping and stamping dances in the round or with partners. The music is usually accompanied by clapping of hands and singing.

Icons are used in homes to decorate, protect inhabitants, and sanctify the religious corner of the house, sometimes organized into small altars, always placed on the eastern wall. At important road crossings and way stations, local residents erect small shrines and meditation spots. Wooden or stone crosses and panels of religious scenes provide travelers places to pray and seek protection. The painted eggs are a testimony of the Easter customs, believes and habits, representing an element of spiritual culture characteristic only to the Romanians.

Actually, in spite of the changes brought about by time, and especially by this century, governed by modern technologies, in all the regions of Romania the folk craftsmen continue to exist, to build up houses of wood, to shape the gates of their households into triumphal arches, to make their tools and objects necessary to the household, they making pottery, painting on wood and glass.
