Abstract

Life and death are the two great mysteries that mark human destiny. Life is the miracle whereby man comes from non-existence to being, to existence, out of God’s gift, on the foundation of his parents’ love. Death is the passing from this life to the eternal life - which is the supreme ideal of human existence on this earth. For this reason, life here is a preparation for the other Life. In our Romanian traditional culture,this training starts from the babyhood and the climax is in the very moment of crossing to the Beyond. Folk tradition,combined with the Orthodox Christian spirituality generated, throughout the time, a whole treasure of traditions and rites, with regional particularities, but all having as a core the same message - the human desire to gain the eternal life, with God.
