10 funny Romanian superstitions
How were these Romanian superstitions born that make many of us laugh?
The question does not have a hard to understand answer, this phenomenon having its roots in the attempt of our ancestors to explain the mysterious circumstances of some events, through knowledge acquired over time.
If I were to make a complete list with Romanian superstitions , I should probably reserve a few days for its preparation. Black cats, mirrors, shooting stars, numbers, itching in various places of the body and many other things are the object of superstitions deeply rooted in popular belief. And you have to admit one thing: even if you don't think that a black cat will bring you bad luck if it crosses your path, at least once you took three steps back and spat three times left and right... Admit it! 🙂
