Tradition generalized throughout the ethnographic area of Botosani, with a repertoire of traditional carols sung at the windows of the houses on Christmas Eve. The tradition is composed of carols (ceremonial texts), magic formulas, gestures, props ritual. Once upon a time carols were sung only by children – the innocence of their age being a guarantee that the wishes for the owner will be quickly fulfilled by Divinity. There is a belief that when carols disappear, the planet will disappear. People would let the gates open to receive carolers who were rewarded with coils, apples, walnuts and later on money.
