Color of Hay: Maramures 1
Cocoana, Sarbi, Maramures, 2000
On Easter morning, Victoritsa wears a typical kamasha made for little girls. It takes up to four months for a woman to cut away the threads that make the holes and frills in this blouse. If the women in a girl’s family haven’t the eyesight or the time to make these clothes, they can purchase them for the equivalent of three month’s family income. Why do they go to such lengths to dress for Easter?
It is never too early to impress a future mother-in-law.
